2018 BMW 6 Series 2.0L Petrol · B25 ABU

A persistent history of brake component wear characterizes this vehicle's record, though the most recent test on 12 December 2025 was completed with no defects. Between 2021 and 2024, the MOT records consistently flagged thin brake pads and worn front and rear brake discs as advisories. A single failure in December 2022 regarding headlamp aim was resolved promptly, indicating a general trend of maintaining minimum roadworthiness standards despite the steady wear of consumables. The recorded mileage of 150,866 miles is high for a vehicle of this age, representing an average annual accumulation of approximately 18,858 miles. This volume of usage typically results in accelerated wear on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and steering components. Such a high-mileage profile suggests the vehicle has been used extensively for long-distance travel, which places specific stresses on the chassis and consumables that differ from low-mileage urban usage. Prospective buyers should prioritize a detailed inspection of the braking system to determine if the discs and pads flagged between 2021 and 2024 were replaced or merely monitored. During a test drive, feel for any pedal judder or listen for grinding noises during deceleration, which would indicate worn or warped discs. The history of tyre damage and edge wear on the offside front also warrants a close check of the current tyre sidewalls for cracking and a verification of the wheel alignment to ensure no ongoing uneven wear. Given the high mileage, the inspection should extend to the suspension linkages and coil springs. Listen for knocks or clunks when driving over speed bumps or uneven road surfaces, and check for any steering drift or vibration at higher speeds. While the latest MOT record is clean, the cumulative distance traveled makes the physical condition of rubber bushings and structural mounting points a primary concern for assessing the vehicle's remaining mechanical longevity.
