2014 BMW 518 2.0L Diesel · OY64 XCE

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT as of the 10 December 2025 test at 168,095 miles, with no defects recorded. A failure two days earlier flagged a fractured off‑side rear coil spring, which appears to have been remedied before the subsequent pass. Since that repair the record shows no further major faults, indicating a stable condition after the recent suspension work, though the history contains recurring consumable wear. Mileage of 168,095 miles over twelve years averages roughly 14,000 miles per annum, placing the car in a high‑usage bracket for its age. The log shows a steady increase: 141,115 miles in October 2021, rising to 154,908 miles by November 2023, and reaching 168,095 miles by December 2025. No significant mileage gaps appear, suggesting continuous use rather than prolonged storage, which aligns with the observed wear patterns. A prospective buyer should focus on the rear suspension, confirming that the replaced coil spring and its mounting bushes are free of corrosion and that the surrounding suspension components show no signs of fatigue. Brake inspection is warranted; thin front and rear pads were noted in 2019 and again in 2021, so disc condition and pad replacement history must be verified. Tyre condition also demands attention: edge‑wear advisories appeared in 2017, 2018, and 2024, so tread depth and uniformity should be checked. Finally, the windscreen damage recorded in 2017 should be examined to ensure no progression, and a general survey for structural rust will complete the assessment.
