2010 BMW 523 2.5L Petrol · SH10 TWN

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of recent inspections. The most recent test on 25 November 2025 at 89,267 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to October 2023, indicating a vehicle that currently meets all DVSA safety and emissions standards without any outstanding advisories. The mileage is notably low for a 2010 model, averaging roughly 5,579 miles per year. Between 27 October 2023 and 25 November 2025, the odometer rose from 81,161 to 89,267 miles. This represents a steady usage pattern of approximately 4,000 miles per annum over the last two years. Such low overall mileage suggests the car has avoided the heavy wear typically associated with high-mileage commuters, though it may indicate periods of light use. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories across the last three years is unusual for a sixteen-year-old BMW. While the MOT history is pristine, a buyer should still physically inspect the rubber components and braking system. Low-mileage vehicles often suffer from perished suspension bushes or seized brake calipers due to inactivity rather than wear. Check for signs of corrosion on the chassis and suspension mounting points, as these are common failure points for this era of BMW that may not have been flagged if the car has been kept in a dry environment. Verify the condition of the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking, as low-mileage tyres often perish before the tread wears down.
