2011 BMW 5 Series 2.0L Diesel · YK61 OAV

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT, having passed the test on 23 September 2025 at 219,002 miles with no defects recorded. This follows a clean pass on 25 September 2024 and a one‑day‑old failure on 24 September 2024 that was cleared before the subsequent pass, indicating the recent maintenance trend is stable after the earlier shock‑absorber and tyre issues were rectified. Registered in 2011, the car has accrued 219,002 miles, averaging roughly 14,600 miles per year. Between September 2022 and September 2023 the odometer rose by about 6,700 miles, and the following year added roughly 9,100 miles. From September 2024 to September 2025 the mileage increased by approximately 22,300 miles, a notably higher rate that suggests more intensive use or a possible discrepancy in recording. Given the recorded faults, a prospective buyer should pay close attention to the nearside front shock absorber for signs of fluid leakage or worn seals, and verify that the rear tyre tread meets the legal 1.6 mm minimum across the whole width. It is also wise to inspect the front and rear suspension bushes, coil springs and dampers for wear, and to check the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or corrosion, as these areas are prone to deterioration once a leak or tread problem has occurred.
