2013 BMW 520 2.0L Diesel · MJ63 FVE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the recent MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 20 December 2025 at 74,444 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a failure was recorded on 30 December 2024 at 70,530 miles, the immediate rectification and pass on the same day suggest the owner is proactive in addressing identified faults to keep the vehicle legal. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 74,444 miles represents a low-annual average of approximately 5,700 miles. This usage pattern is consistent across the records, with roughly 2,500 miles covered between November 2022 and November 2023, and another similar increment covered in the following year. Such low mileage often correlates with less wear on the drivetrain and engine-related components, though it can occasionally lead to the degradation of rubber seals, fluid breakdown, and tyre flat spotting if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components that likely caused the December 2024 failure, as the record does not specify the exact defect. Given the low mileage and the age of the BMW, it is vital to check the condition of suspension bushes and control arm bolts, which can perish over time regardless of distance driven. Additionally examine the brake discs for corrosion or binding calipers, as low-use vehicles are prone to surface rust and seized pistons if the braking system is not regularly exercised.
