Our Verdict
Recommended. This vehicle boasts a consi
Focus your attention on the items flagged in previous MOTs. In 2025, both front tyres were noted as being close to the legal limit; verify that these have been replaced since then. Additionally, the 2024 and 2025 tests mentioned the engine cover and under trays being fitted, so ensure these components are secure and not loose or damaged during your physical inspection.
Review the service history specifically for evidence of oil changes and coolant flushes, which are vital for the 1997cc engine. Given the car's age, check for any leaks around the engine bay or evidence of fluid loss, as this is a common area of concern for older petrol BMWs.
The 2.0L petrol engine places this vehicle in a moderate tax bracket for its age, and insurance groups for the Z4 are typically mid-range. Fuel economy will be typical for a sports roadster of this era, meaning costs will vary depending on whether it is used for occasional leisure or regular commuting.
Maintenance costs for BMWs can be higher than for mass-market brands, particularly when sourcing genuine parts. Expect higher costs for specialised components and the annual maintenance of the convertible roof mechanism.
Inspect the headlamps, brake pads, and coil springs, as these are the top failure reasons for the Z4 across aggregate MOT data. Ensure the headlamps are clear and fully operational, and check the brake pads for remaining thickness.
Specifically for this vehicle, check the front tyre tread depth and the security of the under-body trays and engine cover, referencing the advisories from 2024 and 2025. Finally, operate the roof mechanism several times to ensure it functions smoothly without hesitation or unusual noise.
This blue 2012 BMW Z4 has a recorded mileage of 76,661 miles as of June 2026. Its MOT history is relatively clean, with five consecutive passes and only minor advisories regarding tyres and under-body panels in 2024 and 2025. While its total mileage is higher than the model average, the absence of failures over the last five years is a positive data point.
The BMW Z4 has a solid reliability reputation with an average MOT pass rate of 82.9%, though it is prone to wear-and-tear issues with lighting and suspension components.
