Our Verdict
This is a strong candidate for a performance buyer, provided the recent MOT failure is clarified. The vehicle shows a consistent testing pattern with a clean recent history.
When viewing this M4, your first priority should be to confirm the exact nature of the MOT failure recorded on 2025-04-19. Although the record shows 'no defects recorded' for the subsequent pass, understanding what required attention just before the 70,332-mile mark is essential for due diligence.
Given the 2979cc petrol engine, you should check for any evidence of fluid leaks or cooling system issues. While the MOT history is relatively clean, high-performance models like this benefit significantly from a documented service history to ensure the engine and drivetrain have been maintained according to BMW's strict requirements.
As a 3.0-litre petrol performance car, running costs will be higher than a standard hatchback. Expect higher fuel consumption and a significant insurance group rating due to the M4's performance capabilities.
Maintenance costs for this model can be substantial, particularly regarding tyres and brakes, which are high-wear items on performance vehicles. An estimated annual running cost for this vehicle, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, is approximately £3,500-£4,500.
Focus your inspection on the areas highlighted by aggregate model data, specifically checking the condition of the coil springs and tyres. Given the high torque output of the M4 engine, inspect the tyre tread depth and any signs of uneven wear which could indicate suspension issues.
Additionally, check the registration plates for clarity and security, as this is a common failure point for this model type. While the MOT history for this specific vehicle has been largely free of defects, a thorough check of the underside for any signs of oil leaks or exhaust issues is highly recommended.
This 2015 BMW M4, finished in a distinctive yellow, has covered 70,428 miles since its registration in August 2015. The MOT history shows five recorded tests, with the most recent passing in April 2025. While there was a recorded failure in April 2025 at 70,332 miles, the vehicle passed shortly after, suggesting a minor or easily rectifiable issue.
The BMW M4 shows a high average MOT pass rate of 90.3% across 12,530 analysed vehicles, with common failures involving coil springs and tyres.

AI Analysis
Historical fault & advisory patterns
Common Problems: BMW M4
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Crank Hub Slip / Engine Timing Issues(Serious)
The same S55 crank-hub concern that affects F80 M3s also hangs over the F82/F83 M4, especially on tuned cars making repeated hard launches.
- Adaptive Damper / Top Mount Wear(Moderate)
Stiff suspension, large wheels, and poor UK roads can leave M4s with worn dampers, noisy top mounts, or poor wheel alignment that chews through tyres.
- Convertible Roof Water Ingress / Module Risk(Moderate)
The folding-roof M4 Convertible can suffer from blocked drains, wet boot electronics, or roof-cycle faults if the mechanism has been neglected.
- Coolant / Charge-Cooling Leaks(Moderate)
Turbocharged M4s can lose coolant from expansion tanks, front coolers, or hoses. It is a common nuisance fault on hard-driven examples and should not be ignored.
