2019 BMW 740 3.0L Diesel · GF19 RVJ

The most recent MOT, conducted on 18 December 2025 at 65,839 miles, passed cleanly with zero defects recorded. This is a strong indicator of current roadworthiness. Looking at the full timeline, the maintenance trend is broadly stable and improving. The vehicle failed on 12 March 2025 at 58,621 miles for a split offside front CV boot, yet just nine days later on 21 March 2025 at 58,703 miles it passed with no faults, confirming the issue was promptly rectified. The December 2025 clean result at the maximum recorded mileage suggests the car is in well-serviced order today. The mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for a seven-year-old vehicle. Between March 2023 at 33,929 miles and March 2024 at 46,022 miles, the car covered roughly 12,093 miles in twelve months. From March 2024 to March 2025 it added approximately 12,681 miles, and by December 2025 it reached 65,839 miles, representing around 7,136 miles over the final nine-month window. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden drops in recorded mileage. The annual average sits close to 9,400 miles, which is entirely normal for this class of vehicle and does not raise concerns about excessive wear or prolonged standing. Despite the clean recent result, the 2024 test flagged both rear tyres wearing on inner edges, a classic symptom of misaligned rear toe or worn suspension bushes. A buyer should have the rear suspension and subframe mounting points inspected for play or deterioration, as inner-edge tyre wear on a BMW 7 Series often points to worn trailing arm bushes or toe link joints rather than simple alignment drift. The 2025 CV boot failure, though repaired, warrants a check of the entire driveshaft assembly for any residual clicking under load or grease contamination of the brake disc. At nearly 66,000 miles, the front and rear brake discs and pads should be measured for thickness against BMW specification, and the vehicle should be raised to inspect the underside for corrosion on the subframe, brake lines, and exhaust mounting points, all common deterioration points on this platform.
