2018 BMW 6 Series 3.0L Diesel · 5251 NU

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT test on 18 June 2026 with no defects recorded. This follows a three-year period of clean passes between 2023, 2024, and 2025. The record shows a significant safety failure on 26 June 2023, just one day before a successful test. The tester flagged three dangerous defects involving the nearside rear inner, offside front outer, and nearside front tyres, all of which showed ply or cords. This failure indicates a lapse in monitoring critical tyre safety condition prior to the 2023 inspection. At 55,925 miles over an eight-year period, the vehicle has averaged approximately 7,000 miles per year. This usage pattern is consistent with typical expectations for a grand tourer of this age. While lower mileage often reduces mechanical wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings, it can also lead to degradation of rubber-based parts or corrosion from long stationary periods. The 2023 failure suggests that despite the low annual mileage, consumable items were not replaced until they reached a point of dangerous structural failure. The MOT history since the 2023 tyre failure shows a stable trend with no further advisories regarding brakes, suspension components, or structural integrity. However, the record only confirms minimum legal safety standards and does not reflect the state of the engine or electronic components. A buyer should still verify the current condition of the tyres and check for signs of uneven wear, as the previous failure demonstrates that basic maintenance intervals were previously overlooked.
