2017 BMW 730 3.0L Diesel · CG10 BOR

The 2017 BMW 730 presents as roadworthy on the most recent test, passing cleanly on 11 August 2025 at 102,935 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, with the latest three annual examinations showing no advisories or mechanical faults. Prior to the current pass, the vehicle recorded two anomalous failure entries on the same dates as passes in 2023 and 2024, both at 69,830 and 86,729 miles, where the DVSA system logged a fail with no defects cited. This pattern suggests administrative or clerical test errors rather than genuine mechanical rejection, and the car subsequently passed on the same day under identical mileage. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a nine-year-old executive saloon, averaging roughly 11,437 miles per year against the 102,935 miles recorded. The odometer advanced 16,899 miles between the August 2023 test and August 2024, then a further 16,206 miles to August 2025, reflecting consistent annual use with no standing periods or abrupt accumulation spikes. The recorded history is sparse, offering only five entries across two years, and the absence of any advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion across those tests limits deeper wear analysis. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the structural integrity and underbody, given the clean record provides no visibility of hidden rust or worn suspension components that a visual test may not capture. The twin fail-pass anomalies in 2023 and 2024 warrant confirmation that no outstanding recall or certification issue affects the vehicle, though no defects were logged. Given the age and 102,935 miles, expect imminent consumable replacement on tyres, wiper blades, and possibly brake friction material despite the unflagged MOT status.
