Our Verdict
Recommended. This Z4 presents a clean MO
When inspecting this vehicle, request the full service history to verify that oil changes have been performed at regular intervals, which is critical for the longevity of this engine. Given the 2022 MOT advisory regarding worn and pitted brake discs, confirm whether these were replaced following that test or if they are still in use.
Negotiate based on the mileage, which is higher than the model average. Ensure the convertible roof mechanism operates smoothly and check for any leaks around the seals, as these are common points of concern for the Z4 range.
The 2.0L petrol engine offers a balance of performance and efficiency, though insurance groups for the Z4 are typically higher than standard coupes. Maintenance costs for BMWs can be premium, particularly for specialized parts and labour at authorised garages.
Annual costs will include the road tax for a 2014 petrol engine, insurance, and fuel. Based on the vehicle's profile, you should budget for periodic replacements of wear-and-tear items like brake pads and tyres.
Pay close attention to the braking system; the July 2022 MOT record specifically noted that the front brake discs were worn, pitted, or scored. Check for current disc condition and pad thickness. Also, verify the current state of the windscreen wipers, which caused a failure in March 2025.
Referencing model aggregate data, inspect the headlamps for condensation or failure and check the coil springs for signs of corrosion or cracking, as these are among the most frequent failure points for this model across 41,166 analysed vehicles.
This 2014 black BMW Z4 2.0L petrol has recorded 61,966 miles. The MOT history is relatively clean, with the only failure being for ineffective windscreen wipers in March 2025. While it has a previous advisory for brake disc wear, there are no records of major mechanical or structural failures.
With an average MOT pass rate of 82.9% across over 41,000 vehicles, this model demonstrates a generally reliable track record.
