2014 BMW 520 2.0L Diesel · SE14 UNP

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a clean MOT record across the last five annual tests. The most recent inspection on 10 July 2025 at 108,939 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical and safety requirements before they could result in test failures or long-term advisories. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old executive saloon, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per annum. There is a notable increase in usage between August 2023 (85,161 miles) and August 2024 (102,007 miles), where the vehicle covered over 17,000 miles in a single year, though usage returned to normal levels thereafter. This consistent interval suggests the car has seen regular road use rather than long periods of standing stationary, which typically helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. Because the MOT history shows no recurring faults related to structural integrity or braking components, a physical inspection should focus on common BMW wear points for this model year and mileage. A buyer should verify the condition of the front suspension bushings and control arms, which often show wear around the 100,000-mile mark. Given the clean record, checking for minor oil leaks around the valve cover gasket or turbocharger housing is also advisable to ensure the mechanical health remains as sound as the safety history suggests.
