BMW 6 SERIES2012 · 3.0L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in August 2025 with 112,396 miles and no defects recorded. This represents an improving maintenance trend following a period of recurring mechanical issues in 2023. While the 2023 failure highlighted multiple pressing concerns, the clean sheet from the latest test indicates that the previous owner successfully addressed the identified faults and maintained the vehicle to standard thereafter. At 112,396 miles over 14 years, the car averages approximately 8,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a premium grand tourer. The record shows consistent intervals, with roughly 7,000 to 8,000 miles covered between annual tests from 2022 through 2025. This steady mileage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to seized perish components, though the age of the vehicle means rubber components are reaching the end of their lifecycle. A buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension and steering during a physical inspection. The 2023 failure flagged a worn nearside track rod end ball joint and a nearside rear lower shock absorber bush. While these were cleared, these components should be inspected for new signs of play or rubber tearing in the bushings. The recurring history of uneven tyre wear, specifically edge wear on the nearside and offside front tyres between 2023 and 2024, necessitates a professional wheel alignment to prevent premature tyre degradation. The record also reveals a history of neglecting basic consumables, evidenced by sidewall reaching the cords in 2023 and defective wiper blades in 2024. The buyer must verify the current depth of all four tyres and check the condition of the wiper assembly. Given the age of this BMW 6 Series, a thorough check of the chassis for corrosion on subframe mounts is also advisable, although no structural advisories have yet appeared in the provided MOT history.
