2010 BMW 520 2.0L Diesel · RE60 XWR

This 2010 BMW 520 holds a valid MOT, most recently passed on 24 November 2025 at 119,338 miles with no recorded mechanical or structural defects. The five-year test history shows a stable maintenance trend, with only minor, non-safety-critical lighting faults noted in November 2023 that were resolved by the following year’s test, and no recurring serious advisories or failures across the record. The only consistent note across two tests is a rear child seat blocking full inspection of the offside and nearside rear adult seatbelts, with no underlying belt faults identified when unobstructed. The recorded mileage aligns closely with typical use for a 16-year-old vehicle, sitting at roughly 7,459 miles per year over its life. Annual mileage increments between consecutive MOT tests are consistent, ranging from 3,390 to 5,525 miles per year, with no sudden spikes indicating unrecorded high-use periods or extended gaps suggesting long periods of standing that could accelerate component degradation from lack of use. There is no evidence of mileage discrepancies in the official DVSA record. While the MOT history shows no structural corrosion, suspension, brake or exhaust defects, a buyer should still conduct in-person checks of high-wear components appropriate for the vehicle’s age and mileage. Verify all rear seatbelts retract fully, lock correctly under load and show no fraying or stitching degradation, as the child seat fitting prevented full inspection in two recent tests. Confirm all exterior lighting meets current MOT standards, with no aftermarket bulbs reducing light output, and check headlamp units for internal condensation or damage that could cause future failures. Inspect the underbody for any hidden corrosion not visible during standard MOT checks, and assess brake disc wear, suspension bush condition and exhaust integrity, as these are consumable items that require replacement at this mileage even if they passed their most recent test.
