2012 BMW 640 3.0L Diesel · 9 JPW

The BMW 640 currently holds a valid MOT certificate, passing its most recent test on 6 March 2026 at 91,436 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend remains stable, reflecting consistent compliance with roadworthiness standards over the past year. Accumulating 91,436 miles over fourteen years equates to roughly 6,531 miles annually, a typical usage pattern for a grand tourer of this age. The record shows a steady accumulation of 3,505 miles between the March 2025 and March 2026 tests, indicating regular use without prolonged standing or sudden high-mileage surges. A notable anomaly exists in the record from 28 February 2025, where the vehicle failed the test at 87,931 miles despite no defects being recorded. This typically indicates an aborted test, a procedural failure, or a data entry discrepancy rather than a mechanical fault. Given the clean pass just two weeks later at 87,935 miles, the issue was evidently rectified immediately. A buyer should still inspect the structural integrity of the suspension mounting points and subframes, common areas of concern on older BMW models. Check the condition of the coil springs, suspension bushes, and brake discs for wear consistent with the mileage. Verify the exhaust system for corrosion and ensure the tyre tread depths meet legal requirements, as these consumables require regular replacement regardless of the clean MOT record.
