2020 BMW 420 2.0L Diesel · RO70 DVK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in September 2025 with 42,494 miles. The maintenance trend shows a recent lapse in preventative care followed by an immediate rectification. While the 2023 and 2024 tests resulted in clean passes, the failure in the September 2025 test indicates that critical wear items were not monitored effectively prior to the testing deadline. The mileage pattern is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. There is a steady progression of 10,000 miles between the September 2023 test at 22,309 miles and the September 2024 test at 32,475 miles, followed by another similar interval. This relatively low annual mileage suggests the car has been used for shorter trips, which generally preserves the drivetrain and rubber components of the suspension compared to high-mileage examples. A buyer should perform a close physical inspection of the braking system and tyres despite the recent pass. The September 2025 failure due to thin rear brake pads and an offside rear tyre with exposed cords suggests the previous owner only addressed components once they reached a legal limit. Verify the remaining life on the front pads and check for uneven wear which might indicate a sticking caliper. Additionally, the previous presence of a nail in the nearside rear tyre warrants a check for internal sidewall damage to ensure the structural integrity of the rubber was not compromised by a poor repair.
