2016 BMW 520 2.0L Diesel · WF66 ACY

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 23 August 2025 at 100,755 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent five year trend of first time passes without a single recorded failure or advisory, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a ten year old executive saloon. The vehicle covered 8,123 miles between the May 2023 test at 85,141 miles and the August 2024 test at 92,632 miles, followed by a slightly higher increase of 8,123 miles leading into the August 2025 test. These figures indicate regular, predictable use rather than erratic bursts of mileage or prolonged periods of standing. The absence of any recorded advisories regarding brake disc wear, tyre tread, or suspension bushes is rare for a car exceeding 100,000 miles. While the DVSA record is clean, a buyer should still manually verify the condition of the brake pads and fluid levels, as these are consumables that may be nearing the end of their service life despite passing a basic MOT check. Attention should be paid to the underside for any signs of surface corrosion and a check of the service history for evidence of gearbox and engine oil changes. The MOT history confirms the vehicle is mechanically sound by regulatory standards, but a physical inspection of the suspension mounts and steering rack is advised to ensure no wear has developed since the last test nearly a year ago.
