This 2019 BMW 420D Gran Coupé is a genuine concern: just 50.9% pass first time against the UK average of 80%, meaning roughly one in two cars fails their MOT on the first attempt. The good news is that dangerous defects are non-existent in this cohort, so the failures are nuisance issues rather than safety threats.

At 57,000 miles these cars are relatively low-mileage for their age, yet still struggling to pass MOT without work—this points to inherent design or build weaknesses rather than wear-and-tear problems. Before buying one, budget for pre-purchase inspection by a BMW specialist and expect to spend on common failure items; the virtual absence of advisories suggests problems often go from invisible to failed, leaving no warning signs.
