2016 BMW 520 2.0L Diesel · RE10 GOW

The vehicle presents a current roadworthy status following the November 2025 test at 63,473 miles, where the tester issued a pass after an initial failure on the same date with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the three-year record, with every annual examination returning a clean result once the administrative failure was cleared. No advisories or mechanical faults appear in the history, indicating the previous owner kept the car to a standard that satisfied DVLA requirements without outstanding wear items. Mileage accumulation sits at a modest 63,473 miles over roughly ten years, equating to about 6,347 miles per year against the 2016 build. The record shows 43,851 miles in November 2023, rising to 53,125 by November 2024 and 63,473 by November 2025, a steady 9,000 to 10,000 miles annually. The data is sparse but clean, with no gaps or sudden accumulation that would point to harsh use or neglected storage. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass entries at 53,125 and 63,473 miles, both with no defects logged, suggest clerical or documentation issues at the testing centre rather than mechanical neglect. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, brake discs and calipers, and underbody structural integrity, as a clean MOT does not rule out early corrosion or worn consumables the tester chose not to advisory. Given the low annual mileage, components such as tyres, wiper blades, and fluid intervals may have aged through time rather than distance. Verify service history matches the recorded odometer and confirm no outstanding manufacturer recalls on the chassis before purchase.
