2020 BMW 520D M Sport Mhev Auto 2.0L Electric diesel · SL70 AEV

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness record, with no defects recorded in its last three MOT tests, including the most recent 2026-01-12 assessment at 51,704 miles. All prior tests from 2023 to 2025 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the car has been well-kept, with no evidence of recurring faults in critical systems like brakes, suspension, or emissions. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,617 miles annually. The MOT history shows regular testing intervals, with the 2023-08-21 test at 33,116 miles followed by a 2024-01-19 assessment at 35,963 miles, reflecting a 2,847-mile increase over five months. Subsequent tests in 2025 and 2026 recorded jumps of 7,441 and 8,300 miles respectively, consistent with annual usage patterns. No irregularities in mileage accumulation were noted, and the clean MOT history suggests no significant mechanical stress or neglect. While the MOT records show no faults, a physical inspection is recommended to confirm the absence of hidden issues. Focus on the suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushings, as these can degrade over time without immediate MOT failure. Check the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear, and inspect the exhaust system for corrosion, as these are common areas for older vehicles. Verify the condition of the tyres and wiper blades, as their replacement may not be reflected in the MOT data. The car’s maintenance history implies responsible ownership, but a hands-on check remains essential for full confidence.
