2016 BMW 520 2.0L Diesel · SN54 TAR

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a clean MOT history spanning the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 12 February 2026 at 65,146 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This consistent performance suggests a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have proactively addressed potential issues before they manifested as mechanical failures or structural defects during the DVSA inspection process. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-mileage profile, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. Between January 2022 at 39,556 miles and February 2026 at 65,146 miles, the car covered 25,590 miles. This steady accumulation indicates the vehicle has not been subjected to high-intensity motorway use that typically wears out drivetrain and suspension components. The intervals between tests are also regular, suggesting a predictable usage pattern rather than long periods of stagnation which can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components or corrosion in braking systems. While the digital record shows no recurring faults such as worn bushes or binding brake calipers, a physical inspection should focus on components prone to age rather than just mileage. A buyer should check the rubber bushings in the control arms for cracking, as low-mileage cars can suffer from rot over a decade. Given the vehicle's age, verifying the condition of the brake discs for pitting and ensuring the tyres are not perished remains as necessary steps despite the clean test history.
