2013 BMW 2.0L Diesel · ST13 CNE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass on November 10 2025 at 128,031 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather rather than preventative care. A failure just five days prior to the latest test revealed critical safety issues including corroded brake pipes and illegal tyre tread depths. While these specific defects were addressed immediately, the frequency of failures suggests the previous owner only addressed mechanical faults once they resulted in an MOT test failure. At 128,031 miles over 13 years, the car has averaged approximately 9,850 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a vehicle of this age. The record shows a significant spike in usage between April 2025 and November 2025, with over 5,000 miles covered in just seven months. This rapid accumulation, combined with the age of the vehicle, places increased stress on wear items, as evidenced by the recurring failures related to tyres and lighting components noted during that period. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the condition of the braking system. The presence of excessive corrosion on the nearside front and rear brake pipes in November 2025 indicates a harsh environment or a lack of underbody protection. A buyer should check for signs of fluid leaks or further degradation along the remaining metal pipework. Additionally, the offside front tyre noted worn on the edge in May 2024 suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes which require professional verification to prevent premature wear of new tyres.
