2013 BMW 520 2.0L Diesel · PO63 AYP

This vehicle demonstrates an exceptionally stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent MOT on 23 October 2025 at 65,220 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This mirrors the outcomes of the previous four annual tests, indicating a consistent level of mechanical integrity and a lack of recurring faults. The mileage is notably low for a thirteen year old car, averaging roughly 5,017 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady over the last five years, growing from 44,976 miles in September 2021 to 65,220 miles by October 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or suspicious gaps that would suggest undisclosed heavy use or significant periods of neglect. The absence of any advisories across five consecutive tests is rare for a vehicle of this age. The tester flagged no issues with suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion, which often plague older BMWs. This suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance by the previous owner. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Low-use vehicles often suffer from perished rubber seals, flat-spotted tyres, or moisture buildup in the braking system. Check for any signs of brake caliper binding or battery degradation caused by infrequent long-distance cycling, as these issues would not necessarily trigger a failure if the car is well-maintained between tests.
