2010 BMW 730 3.0L Diesel · DR55 AAB

The vehicle presents a remarkably stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a string of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 27 October 2025 at 90,139 miles recorded no defects, indicating that the car currently meets all regulatory standards. This consistency suggests that the previous owners maintained a proactive approach schedule, preventing the accumulation of mechanical faults typically seen in older luxury vehicles. The mileage pattern is notably low for a sixteen-year-old BMW executive saloon, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per year. Between September 2021 and October 2025, the vehicle covered 37,985 miles, showing a steady and predictable usage rate. The jump of 9,537 miles recorded between the 2024 and 2025 tests reflects a consistent period of short-distance driving. While this low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk of dry-rot in rubber parts and seals if the vehicle sits for long periods without use. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must inspect specific areas prone to low-mileage, high-age German cars. Focus attention on the condition of perished suspension bushes and split rubber boots, which can degrade over time regardless of distance driven. The braking system should be checked for seized calipers or pitted discs, as infrequent use often leads to surface corrosion. Additionally, verify the structural integrity of the chassis for underbody rust, ensuring that the lack of MOT advisories has not masked hidden oxidation in inaccessible areas.
