2017 BMW 730 3.0L Diesel · 7 CB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT pass on 8 April 2026 at 60,063 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, although the recent failure just six days prior to that pass indicates a reactive approach to mechanical repairs. The failure at 59,978 miles involved a split offside front drive shaft constant velocity boot, which is a common mechanical wear item but was addressed immediately to secure the subsequent retest pass. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use luxury executive car, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. Data shows steady progression from 41,069 miles in January 2023 to 60,063 miles in April 2026. There are no significant gaps in mileage that would suggest the vehicle sat stationary for extended periods, which often leads to premature degradation of rubber components, seals, and brake systems. The low annual mileage suggests the drivetrain has not been subjected to the high-frequency wear and tear of long-distance motorway commuting typically found in higher-mileage examples. A buyer should inspect the offside front drive assembly to ensure the replacement boot was fitted correctly and that no grease leakage is present from the CV joint. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the previous three years, the focus should shift to the physical condition of aging rubber components. Check the suspension bushes and lower arms for signs of cracking or perished material which can occur on low-mileage cars that age frequently. Verify the brake discs for pitting or heavy corrosion, as infrequent use can sometimes lead to surface rust despite a clean MOT history.
