2016 BMW 420 2.0L Diesel · MM60 ADE

The June 2026 MOT at 70,103 miles resulted in a pass, confirming roadworthiness despite tyre wear noted as worn close to the legal limit on both front tyres and the near‑side rear tyre. The maintenance record shows a stable pattern, with the 2025 failure at 62,992 miles followed by a clean pass two years later, indicating that previous defects were addressed and no new serious issues have emerged. Mileage accumulation over the past six years has been consistent, rising from 22,217 miles in December 2019 to 70,103 miles in June 2026, averaging roughly 7,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 2016 model. No extended periods of non‑use are evident; the intervals between tests average 12 months, with the longest gap of 11 months between the 2020 and 2021 records, suggesting regular operation. Key items for a buyer’s inspection include the front and rear suspension components, as the arm pin and bush wear was recorded in both 2025 and 2026, and the steering rack inner joint play persists. The brake system shows recurring concerns: rear pads fell below 1.5 mm and the rear discs were described as significantly worn in 2025, while front discs remain worn but not excessive. A close examination of tyre tread depth, alignment and condition, and a visual check for structural rust on the chassis and suspension mounting points is essential.
