2014 BMW 520 2.0L Diesel · RF63 CXK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy based on the most recent MOT pass on 12 June 2024 at 185,597 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable as the record shows a consistent history of passes with no recorded defects or advisories over several years. A failure occurred on 4 May 2024, but the record lists no specific defects for that date, suggesting a minor administrative or quick-fix issue that was resolved within a month. The mileage is high for a twelve year old vehicle, averaging over 15,000 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between February 2022 and February 2023, where the odometer rose from 164,035 to 176,808 miles. A period of relative inactivity occurred between December 2020 and February 2022, with the vehicle covering fewer than 50 miles over fourteen months. Despite the clean MOT record, the high mileage of 185,597 miles necessitates a thorough physical inspection of high-wear components. The absence of recorded advisories is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage, meaning a buyer should independently verify the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. Particular attention should be paid to the drivetrain and structural integrity. Check for signs of corrosion on the chassis and ensure the exhaust system is secure. Given the high annual mileage, verify the service history for timing chain maintenance and oil leaks, as these are common failure points for this engine that an MOT test may not immediately detect.
