2014 BMW 420 2.0L Diesel · OJ11 ALE

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 19 June 2025 at 99,320 miles. The history shows a stable maintenance trend despite technical failures recorded immediately preceding the passes in 2024 and 2025. Because the records show no specific defects for the failed tests, the issues likely related to minor non-testable items such as bulbs, wipers, or minor adjustments that the previous owner rectified prior to the re-test. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,277 miles per year. Between June 2023 at 82,975 miles and July 2024 at 91,636 miles, the car covered 8,661 miles in thirteen months. The subsequent interval saw 7,684 miles covered before the 2025 test, indicating a steady usage pattern. This regular usage is generally beneficial for seals, gaskets, and mechanical components, as it prevents the degradation often associated with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension components and braking system, as the mileage puts the car at a stage where rubber bushes and shocks often begin to fatigue. Check for wear on the control arm bushings and coil springs, especially given the vehicle is approaching the 100,000-mile mark. While the MOT record shows no flagged structural corrosion or binding calipers, a close look at the underbody for surface rust remains necessary to ensure the integrity of the chassis remains sound for future tests.
