2004 BMW Z4 2.2L Petrol · WB03 ASH

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness evidenced by five consecutive MOT passes over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 11 April 2026 at 113,697 miles returned no defects or advisories. This consistency indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have proactively addressed potential issues before they resulted in test failures or the advisory notes often seen on vehicles of this age. The mileage profile is remarkably low for a 22-year-old BMW, averaging approximately 5,168 miles per annum. Between March 2022 at 90,427 miles and the 2026 test at 113,697 miles, the car covered 23,270 miles. This consistent low-annual usage suggests the vehicle was used sparingly rather than left stationary for long periods, though low mileage on older German cars sometimes masks the degradation of rubber-based components and fluids that age independently of engine mechanical wear. Despite the clean electronic record, an in-person technical inspection must focus on components susceptible to age rather than mileage. A buyer should inspect the suspension assembly for perished rubber bushes and worn control arm ball, as these are prone to cracking on the Z4 platform. The chassis integrity requires close scrutiny for structural corrosion along the sills and rear subframe, where the MOT tester may not have detected deep-seated rust. Additionally, the brakes should be checked for seized calipers or corroded discs as low-frequency use can lead to piston seizing and surface pitting.
