Our Verdict
This 2017 grey BMW 6 Series diesel presents a reassuringly clean recent MOT history with three consecutive hazard-free passes. With sensible mileage progression recorded across five tests, it stands as a well-preserved example of BMW's grand tourer.
When inspecting this 2993.0cc diesel 6 Series, verify that the paperwork matches the progression seen in the MOT data, starting from 55,280 miles in October 2022 up to 81,736 miles in October 2025. Given that top failure reasons for this model family include tyres, headlamps, and engine management warning lights, pay close attention to the tread depth across all four corners and check that all dashboard electrics cycle correctly upon startup. Although the recent tests record zero advisories, always inspect the physical bodywork of the grey exterior and request a comprehensive service history to complement the MOT data.
The 2993.0cc diesel engine in this 6 Series delivers strong long-distance fuel economy typical of large executive tourers, though road tax and insurance group placements will reflect its high-performance status and large displacement. Routine maintenance should account for premium tyres suitable for a heavy rear- or all-wheel-drive luxury chassis, as tyre wear is among the most common MOT failure points for this model. Estimated annual running costs—incorporating fuel, tax, insurance, and typical maintenance—are expected to range between £1,800 and £2,300 depending on your annual mileage and insurance profile.
While the 2022, 2024, and 2025 MOT tests recorded zero defects or advisories, a thorough physical inspection remains essential. Focus particularly on the lighting assemblies and headlamps, which feature in the model's top failure categories, ensuring all bulbs and automated leveling systems function as intended. Check the health of the engine management system by ensuring no warning lights are illuminated on the dashboard, and inspect the braking components and suspension bushes for any premature wear given the vehicle's 81,736-mile odometer reading.
First registered in October 2017 with a 2993.0cc diesel engine, this grey 6 Series has accumulated 81,736 miles by October 2025. The MOT record shows steady usage, averaging roughly 9,500 miles per year, which positions it slightly above the model aggregate average annual mileage of 8,345 miles. The test history is notably tidy, featuring passes in 2022, 2024, and 2025 without a single advisory recorded in those years, alongside a quick re-test pass following an administrative or minor failure in October 2023.
The BMW 6 Series demonstrates a solid baseline reliability with an average MOT pass rate of 88.0% across 5,569 analysed vehicles, though owners must monitor common trouble spots such as tyres, headlamps, and engine management indicators.
