It looks superb.

But 7.5 years since an inspection 2

Why is that a issue ? :?

It’s not. It’s only done 30k miles since the Insp 2, you’d normally expect 48k between two major services right ? The major part of an inspection is the valve clearances, which change with use (mileage) and should have been done at the Insp 1 anyway. My car was 7 years old when I bought it and had barely had its first Insp 1, but it had been maintained with oil changes etc which is all it needed every 2 years. The last oil service should really have been a year sooner, but it’s barely moved, relatively speaking, and appears to have been well serviced otherwise. If anything the Insp 2 was a bit late, but it was only a year or so since the previous service. No major issues with that history as far as I can see.

Indeed my thoughts too , technically a Ins2 should(or could ( fall every 8yrs if the miles didn't trip the need first .
You can pick holes in almost any cars history , taken as a 12 yr old used vehicle with 80k+ miles covered id say it reads pretty well

You've just said technically the insp2 should fall every 8 years if the miles didn't trip the need first. It's been 7.5 years...

I didn't say it was an issue, but "technically" it's due.

Depends how pedantic you want to be over how the service regime should be adhered to , "technically" following oil - ins1-oil-ins2-oil yes 8yrs but reality is mileage covered often extends those dates considerably so no i wouldn't say it was due based on how the history & miles stand as of now .
You indicated "but 7.5years since ins2 " as if that was a negative ?
Has its only covered 26k since previous ins2 & only 5k since ins1 no real urgency imo , but others (including yourself) may disagree :?
 
Lovely looking example that should make for a relatively easy purchase decision for anyone looking for a Z4MC - at the end of the day it’s simple economics and this type of opportunity will only reduce as time progresses GLWTS :thumbsup:
 
Thanks to all those who have made positive comments on my lovely car, much appreciated :)

Price now reduced to £15,950
 
MODS - this is going off topic a bit here, so please move (or delete) this 'discussion' to another thread if required.

Technically/pedantically, or whateverly...

The only stipulation I've ever seen (online or in service schedules) is that an OIL SERVICE (and brake fluid) should be carried out at a max of 2 years - and that's only because both of those fluids degrade with time as well as use.

Can anyone show me where it says Inspections are time-based as well?

Definitely.

I wouldn't let mine go for that, and it's got a few more miles :|
