Our Verdict
Recommended for cautious buyers with awareness of high mileage and potential diesel-specific maintenance needs.
Prioritize checking the service history to confirm regular maintenance, particularly for diesel particulate filter (DPF) and oil change schedules. Negotiate based on the high mileage, which may impact long-term reliability. Inspect the offside front tyre (from 2022 MOT) for wear and ensure the suspension and steering are free of play. Be wary of potential diesel-specific issues like EGR valve buildup or turbocharger wear, which are common in older BMWs.
Diesel fuel economy averages 40-45 mpg on the motorway, but drops to 30-35 mpg in town. Annual road tax for 2026-2027 is £155 (standard rate for diesel). Insurance group 15-18 (BMW 5 Series typically falls in this range). Routine maintenance (oil changes, DPF cleaning) could cost £300-500 annually. Estimated annual running cost £1,000-1,200.
Focus on the offside front tyre (from 2022 MOT) for cracks or uneven wear. Check for oil leaks around the engine and inspect the DPF for clogging. Test the air conditioning system, as BMWs often develop refrigerant leaks. Examine the underbody for rust, particularly in the UK's wet climate. Verify that all MOT certificates match the vehicle's VIN and registration.
This 2014 BMW 520 diesel has a largely clean MOT history, with only a minor tyre issue recorded in 2022. The vehicle has exceeded typical mileage for its age (116,554 miles), but recent MOTs show no defects. Lack of model-specific reliability data means buyers should verify service history and inspect for common diesel engine issues.
No aggregate MOT data available for the BMW 520 model, making it difficult to assess general reliability trends.
