No MOT history yet — it's too new

UK cars don't need their first MOT until they're 3 years old, so there's no test history for the 2023 BMW 420i M Sport Auto yet. We'll have real reliability data as they start coming through for their first tests.

In the meantime, here's what we do have — older BMW 420i models with full MOT histories, and a guide to which year holds up best:

UK

The 2023 BMW 420i M Sport Auto is exceptionally reliable at the MOT, with a 95.6% first-time pass rate that sits well above the UK average of 80%—a standout result that speaks to build quality and owner maintenance. Dangerous defects are virtually non-existent at just 0.4% of vehicles, so safety concerns are minimal.

At around 20,800 miles median, these cars are still relatively young and lightly used, which partly explains the stellar results. With almost no failures (0.01 per vehicle) and zero advisories on average, the main takeaway is that this model requires minimal unexpected repairs in its first few years—but before committing, get a pre-purchase inspection to check service history, as BMW maintenance costs can be steep once warranty expires.
