Our Verdict
A solid example of a 640 Diesel with a c
Focus your attention on the service history for the 2993cc diesel engine, ensuring regular oil and filter changes have been documented. Given the recent MOT advisories, you should use the imminent need for new rear brake pads and an offside front tyre as a point for price negotiation.
The 3.0L diesel engine provides a balance of power and efficiency for a luxury grand tourer, though it sits in a higher tax and insurance bracket. Maintenance costs for the 6 Series are typically higher than for smaller BMW models due to the cost of components and parts.
Expect higher expenditure on consumables like tyres and brakes, as evidenced by the recurring advisories and failures in this vehicle's history.
Carefully inspect the front suspension, specifically the coil springs, as this vehicle previously failed for a fractured nearside front spring—a known common failure point for this model. You must also verify the current condition of the offside front tyre and both rear brake pads, which were flagged as wearing thin in the January 2026 MOT.
Check the exterior black paintwork for any significant blemishes and ensure all electronic systems within the cabin are functioning correctly, as is standard for luxury vehicles of this age.
This black 2013 BMW 640 Diesel has covered 107,982 miles. Its MOT history shows five tests since 2023, with one failure in 2024 regarding a coil spring and tyre, both of which were corrected. The most recent test in January 2026 passed but noted wearing brake pads and a tyre nearing its legal limit.
The 640 has an average MOT pass rate of 86.4%, with the most frequent failures typically involving tyres, coil springs, and brake pads.
