2019 520D high mileage before first service

    I’m looking at a 520D in the UK with nearly 25k miles before it was first serviced. Looks to be a high mileage motorway car but still surprised the condition based servicing wouldn’t have kicked in at lower mileage. Service history on the car shows the service as green, so not late.

    Should I steer clear?

    What's so special about this particular 520d as there are hundreds if not more of similar examples for sale? Cheap price? The answer might lie there.

    Fair question - this one is at a decent price, but not cheapest by any means.

    Strangely there isn’t as many 520s around as when I was looking a few months ago. I’d hoped with the new plates in the UK in September, that a lot more approved used would come on the market, but it hasn’t materialised. I should say that I’m only looking at approved used, so that does limit the number somewhat.

    Is it possible to skip avoid a service and still have it appear as green in iDrive, or with high motorway miles, would this service interval be possible?

    You only live once. Buy a 535d if you're going to the bother of importing from the UK.
