Our Verdict
This is a strong candidate for a buyer seeking a low-mileage example of the 6 Series. The clean MOT history and significantly below-average mileage make it a standout option in this model category.
When viewing this specific grey 6 Series, your primary focus should be on confirming the service history, as the MOT records alone do not confirm mechanical maintenance. Because the mileage is so low for a 2013 diesel, check that the vehicle has been driven regularly to prevent issues like DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) clogging or battery degradation.
Negotiate based on the service intervals. While the MOT history shows no defects, you should ask for evidence of oil changes and fluid checks. Since this is a high-performance 3.0L diesel, ensuring the cooling system and turbocharger have been maintained is vital, even if no MOT failures have been recorded to date.
Running this 2993cc diesel will involve higher-than-average costs due to its engine size and luxury positioning. Expect a higher insurance group and potentially higher road tax depending on the specific CO2 output of this 2013 model.
Maintenance costs for BMW 6 Series components can be significant. While the MOT history shows no failures, you should budget for premium parts and specialist labour. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, are likely to fall in the higher bracket for a large executive saloon.
Despite the clean MOT record for HAP3S, you should inspect the vehicle for common model-specific issues. Referencing the aggregate data for this model, pay close attention to the headlamps, as they are a top failure reason, and check the tyres for wear and quality.
Additionally, look for early signs of corrosion on the underbody, which is another common failure point for this model. Given the low mileage, inspect the brake discs and pads for surface corrosion that can occur when a vehicle is not driven frequently.
This 2013 BMW 6 Series diesel presents with 65,853 miles, which is considerably lower than the model average of 8,171 miles per year. The MOT history is notably clean, with four consecutive passes since 2021 and no recorded defects or failures in the recent history. Given the 2.9L engine size, this vehicle has been used much less intensively than the typical aggregate sample of 5,573 similar vehicles.
The BMW 6 Series shows an 88.3% average MOT pass rate across 5,573 analysed vehicles, with headlamps, corrosion, and tyres being the most frequent failure points.
