2009 BMW Z4 3.0L Petrol · YK09 TAV

The 2009 BMW Z4 currently holds a valid roadworthiness pass dated 2 July 2025 at 66,306 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test followed a same-day failure at 66,302 miles that listed no defects, implying an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to this, the vehicle passed cleanly on 21 June 2024 at 58,087 miles after a similar defect-free failure two days earlier at 58,081 miles, and passed without advisories on 18 May 2023 at 51,990 miles. No corrosion, suspension wear, brake defects, or emissions concerns appear anywhere in the official record. At roughly 17 years old the car shows 66,306 miles, an average of about 3,900 miles per year, which is low for its age and suggests light use or extended standing periods. The mileage climbed from 51,990 in May 2023 to 58,087 in June 2024, then to 66,306 by July 2025, giving annual increments of around 6,000 and 8,200 miles that exceed the long-term average but remain modest. The DVSA data is sparse and entirely clean of advisories, so no wear trends or neglected consumables such as tyres or wiper blades are documented across the three-year window. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and hidden corrosion, particularly on sills and subframes, since the MOT record omits any underbody assessment detail. The repeated same-day fail-then-pass cycles at 58,081 and 66,302 miles point to clerical rejections rather than owner neglect, yet standing time implied by low mileage raises the risk of seized calipers, degraded suspension bushes, and flat-spotted tyres. Verify brake disc condition and fluid age, and confirm the absence of intermittent electrical or drivetrain faults not captured by the test regime.
