2021 BMW 520D SE Mhev Auto 2.0L Electric diesel · ST21 BYD

The vehicle currently maintains a clean roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on June 3 2026 at 29,579 miles which passed with no recorded defects. This indicates a stable maintenance trend following a specific issue in the previous year. The absence of failures in the latest inspection suggests that any prior mechanical concerns have been addressed and the vehicle is currently operating within regulatory standards. The mileage profile is low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,916 miles per annum. The data shows consistent usage patterns with a move from 20,263 miles in February 2024 to 29,579 miles by June 2026. This low annual mileage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components. However, the long intervals between tests combined with low total mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components that suffer due to time rather than mechanical friction. The only notable entry in the history occurred during the June 2025 test at 25,523 miles, where the tester flagged all four tyres for cracking or perishing. This is a common symptom of a vehicle that sits for extended periods or is driven infrequently, causing the compound to harden. While these were cleared before the 2026 test, a buyer should inspect the current tyre sidewalls for similar dry cracking to ensure the set has not aged beyond use. Physical attention should also be paid to the brake discs and suspension bushes, as low-mileage vehicles can develop surface corrosion on rotors or dry out seals in the arms if not used regularly.
