2017 BMW M4 3.0L Petrol · DS67 ABX

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2023-01-13 at 23,570 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status as of that date. However, prior tests reveal inconsistencies: a failure on 2023-01-12 at 23,568 miles with no defects, and two earlier failures in 2021-02-25 and 2022-04-22, both also with no recorded issues. This pattern suggests potential administrative errors or unrecorded faults, as repeated failures without defects are unusual. The lack of specific mechanical findings in passed tests limits definitive conclusions about the car’s condition, but the absence of critical failures in the most recent assessment implies no immediate safety risks. The vehicle’s mileage of 23,570 miles over nine years equates to approximately 2,619 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. Notable gaps exist between tests: from 2021-02-27 (16,209 miles) to 2022-04-22 (21,501 miles), an increase of 5,292 miles over 14 months, followed by a 2,069-mile rise over 11 months to 2023-01-13. These intervals suggest irregular usage, which could affect component wear. Low mileage may preserve mechanical integrity but also risks prolonged inactivity, potentially leading to issues like seized calipers, degraded fluids, or corrosion in undriven periods. A buyer should prioritize in-person checks for suspension components, as low mileage may mask wear in bushes or coil springs from infrequent use. Inspect brake systems for binding or uneven disc wear, as unrecorded faults in prior tests could indicate unresolved issues. Examine the exhaust system for corrosion, common in vehicles with limited operation. Verify fluid levels and battery condition, as stagnant usage may have caused degradation. While the MOT record shows no critical failures, the absence of defect details in multiple tests warrants caution and a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
