Our Verdict
Proceed with caution but consider this a potentially strong option due to its low mileage. While the MOT history shows recurring tyre issues, the vehicle has consistently passed its tests with no major mechanical failures recorded.
Focus your investigation on the tyre maintenance history. The MOT records show three separate instances where tyres were flagged for bulges, cracking, or perishing, suggesting a possible pattern of deferred maintenance or issues with road conditions. Ensure any new tyres fitted are of a high quality and that the wheels themselves haven't been damaged by the same forces that caused the sidewall bulges.
Secondly, request a detailed service history to complement the MOT data. While the MOTs show brake discs were pitted or scored in 2023, you should verify if these components were replaced following that test. Given the 2993cc diesel engine, check that the oil service intervals have been strictly adhered to, as this is vital for long-term reliability in high-performance BMW models.
As a 3.0L diesel, expect higher fuel costs compared to smaller engine variants, though motorway cruising should remain relatively efficient. This vehicle falls into a higher insurance group typical of premium BMW models, so obtain a quote before committing.
Maintenance costs for a 6-series can be substantial; while the MOTs haven't flagged expensive mechanical failures, the tyres and brake components mentioned in the history are recurring consumables. An estimated annual running cost of £1,500-£2,200 should account for fuel, tax, insurance, and a budget for premium parts and servicing.
Pay close attention to the tyres and wheels. The MOT history specifically notes sidewall bulges on the nearside front (2024) and nearside rear (2025), which can indicate impact damage from potholes. Inspect the rims for cracks or bends that might have caused these structural tyre failures.
Additionally, inspect the braking system. The 2023 MOT recorded pitted and scored brake discs on both the front and rear. Check the current thickness of the pads and the condition of the discs to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service life again. Finally, check the underside for any signs of leaks, as no oil-related defects have been recorded in the MOT history to date.
This 2015 BMW 640 presents with 30,150 miles, which is significantly below the model average of 7,696 miles per year. The MOT history shows a pattern of tyre-related failures and brake disc advisories, but no structural or complex mechanical defects have been noted. The vehicle appears to have been used sparingly, given the mileage recorded across its five-year history.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 86.5% MOT pass rate, with common failures relating to coil springs and tyres.
