Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the mileage
Prioritise the differential oil leak mentioned in the April 2026 MOT; you should verify if this has been professionally repaired or if it remains an active leak. Ensure that the three tyres flagged as worn close to the legal limit (nearside front, nearside rear, and offside rear) have been replaced since the last test.
Request a full service history to see how the 2993cc engine has been maintained, as MOT records only cover roadworthiness and not internal mechanical health. Use the recent MOT failure and the differential advisory as leverage during price negotiations.
The 2993cc diesel engine provides significant power but will result in higher annual road tax and a higher insurance group compared to the 420d variant. Fuel economy is typically efficient for the engine size, but maintenance costs for BMW 4 Series components can be premium.
Annual costs will be driven by the larger engine's tax band and the cost of replacing high-performance tyres, which are a common failure point for this model according to aggregate data.
Carefully inspect the rear differential area for any signs of oil seepage or fresh leaks, as this was specifically noted in the April 2026 MOT. Check the tread depth and wear patterns on all tyres, especially the inner edges of the rear tyres, to ensure they are no longer 'close to the legal limit'.
Test the windscreen washer system to ensure the 'insufficient washer liquid' issue that caused the 2026 failure has been resolved. Additionally, check the offside rear brake pads, which were flagged as wearing thin in 2023, to see if they have since been replaced.
This 2016 Red BMW 430 Diesel has covered 57,324 miles, which is below the average for this model. The MOT history is generally consistent, though the April 2026 test resulted in a failure due to washer fluid and tyre wear, and noted a differential oil leak.
The BMW 430 has an average MOT pass rate of 88.6%, with tyre wear being one of the most frequent causes of failure across the model range.
