2004 BMW 645 4.4L Petrol · DY04 RWF

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT in March 2025 at 198,247 miles with no defects or advisories recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable in the short term, following a failure in February 2024 which was immediately rectified to achieve passing. The lack of advisories in the last two tests suggests that the current owner is proactive in addressing wear and tear before they escalate into test failures. The mileage data reveals a significant shift in usage over recent years. Between May 2021 and September 2022, the car covered only 640 miles, indicating a period of low use or storage. However, the mileage surged dramatically between February 2024 and March 2025, where the vehicle clocked approximately 80,000 miles in just over thirteen months. This rapid accumulation of nearly 80,000 miles per year places extreme stress on the drivetrain, cooling system, and suspension components compared to the vehicle's historical average of 9,000 miles annually. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the components most susceptible to such high-intensity usage cycles. Given the sudden increase in mileage, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, worn coil springs, and leaking shock absorbers is essential. The braking system should also be scrutinized for thin discs or binding calipers, as the high-mileage run accelerates the degradation of consumable parts. While the MOT record is currently clean, the age of the vehicle necessitates a close look for structural corrosion on the sills and subframe points, which MOT tests may not catch until they becomes significant.
