2009 BMW Z4 2.5L Petrol · WK09 XNT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 22 May 2026 at 48,138 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable following a minor mechanical failure in June 2025. While the car failed that test due to a fractured offside rear coil spring, the subsequent pass a month later indicates that the necessary repairs were addressed immediately. This suggests the current owner is responsive to safety-critical faults once they are identified. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 48,138 miles is exceptionally low, averaging only approximately 2,800 miles per year. This low usage pattern suggests the car has been stored or used very sparingly, which often results in less wear on the engine and drivetrain components. Between May 2023 and May 2026, the vehicle covered roughly 9,300 miles, confirming a consistent history of low mileage. However, long periods of inactivity between low use can sometimes accelerate the degradation of rubber-based components. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the rear subframe and heel panels, as the 2024 test flagged surface corrosion in these areas. While surface rust is common on this chassis, it must be monitored to ensure it does not progress into structural perforation. The nearside front tyre has been flagged with a cut in both the 2025 and 2026 tests; although it did not reach the cords this time, the recurring nature of this defect suggests the tyre should be replaced soon to prevent potential structural failure. Given the low mileage, also checking for perished suspension bushings and brake lines is vital, as these parts often fail from age regardless of distance driven.
