2017 BMW 420 2.0L Diesel · SR03 LCR

The vehicle currently holds a valid roadworthiness status following a successful MOT test on 23 March 2026 at 78,143 miles, where no defects were recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows unusual activity in early 2025. A failure recorded on 24 March 2025 was immediately followed by a pass on a re-test on 03 March and another pass on 26 March, indicating that a specific fault was identified and rectified quickly within a two-week window. At 78,143 miles over nine years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 8,683 miles per year. This aligns with typical usage patterns for a 2017 model. The data shows a consistent testing interval between February 2024 and March 2025, with the rapid-fire testing in March 25 being the outlier. The mileage suggests the car has been subjected to moderate use rather than heavy long-distance commuting, which typically reduces the wear on drivetrain components and suspension compared to high-mileage counterparts. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components likely associated with the March 2025 failure, as the record does not specify the exact mechanical cause. Given the age and mileage of this BMW, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs is necessary to look for signs of degradation. While the most recent test was clean, the buyer should also inspect the brake discs for uneven wear and the structural integrity of the underbody for corrosion to ensure that the lack of recent advisories is not a precursor to more expensive mechanical requirements. Buying score: 72 Risk level: Low.
