Our Verdict
A solid purchase option for a high-performance diesel tourer. The clean MOT history across five consecutive tests suggests a consistent standard of compliance.
When inspecting this specific grey 6 Series, focus on verifying the service history to complement the clean MOT record. While the MOTs show no defects, they do not confirm if the oil and filter changes have been performed at the correct intervals for a 3.0L diesel engine.
Negotiate based on the mileage; at 86,783 miles, it has exceeded the statistical average for this model's age. Check the condition of the tyres and braking components, as these are common failure points for the 6 Series according to aggregate data, even though they haven't caused a failure on this specific registration yet.
Running this 3.0L diesel will involve higher-than-average costs due to the large engine displacement and tax bracket. Fuel economy will depend heavily on driving style, but as a diesel, it should remain relatively efficient for long-distance cruising.
Maintenance costs for a BMW of this specification tend to be higher than standard family cars, particularly for suspension and braking components. Expect an estimated annual running cost in the region of £1,800-£2,400, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance.
Given the aggregate data for this model, pay close attention to the headlamps, tyres, and service brakes. Although this vehicle has passed every MOT since 2022 without defects, these are the most frequent reasons for failure in the wider 6 Series sample.
Specifically, check the tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, and listen for any unusual noises from the braking system during a test drive. Ensure the large 3.0L engine is running smoothly without excessive smoke, which can sometimes be an indicator of issues in high-mileage diesel engines.
This 2018 BMW 6 Series features a 2993cc diesel engine and has covered 86,783 miles as of its last MOT in March 2026. The vehicle has a notable record of five consecutive MOT passes without a single recorded defect or failure. While the mileage is higher than the model average of 8,139 miles per year, the lack of recorded issues provides a clear history of compliance.
Aggregate data from over 5,500 vehicles shows an 88.3% MOT pass rate, with headlamps, tyres, and brakes being the primary failure points.
