2019 BMW 420 2.0L Diesel · MA69 VBP

The vehicle presents a roadworthy profile based on the last recorded test, though the data indicates a pattern of neglect regarding consumable maintenance. The September 2022 MOT at 22,275 miles resulted in a pass but highlighted multiple advisories related to all four tyres. While no mechanical or structural failures were recorded, the state of the rubber suggests that the previous owner operated the vehicle close to legal limits rather than performing proactive replacements. At seven years of age, the recorded mileage of 22,275 miles is significantly low, averaging just over 3,100 miles per annum. This low usage pattern often correlates with less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components but introduces risks associated with rubber degradation over time. The perishing and cracking noted in the 2022 test suggest the vehicle may have sat for extended periods, which leads to tyre dry rot despite having sufficient tread depth. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the tyres, as the 2022 record flagged the nearside and offside front tyres for perishing and cracking, while the rear tyres were approaching the legal limit and showing uneven wear. Given the time elapsed since that test, these components are likely at the end of their service life. The buyer should also check the alignment, as the edge wear reported on the rear tyres indicates potential suspension geometry issues or worn bushes that remain unaddressed despite the low mileage.
