2012 BMW 640D M Sport Auto 3.0L Diesel · LA12 AAJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent MOT test in March 2023 at 165,639 miles. This test passed with no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the car was in good mechanical condition at that time. This follows a period of inconsistency in 2020 and 2022, but the current trend suggests the previous owner successfully addressed prior issues to achieve a clean-sheet result. At 165,639 miles over fourteen years, the car has averaged approximately 11,800 miles per annum, which aligns with typical annual usage for a premium grand tourer. The mileage progression shows consistent usage patterns, with a 15,600-mile interval between December 2020 and April 2022, and a 7,500-mile gap between April 2022 and March 2023. However, the MOT is now over three years out of date, meaning the current state of the mechanical and safety components remains unverified by the official DVSA record. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas most common to high-mileage BMWs, specifically the suspension bushings, control arms, and coil springs. While the 2023 test was clean, the elapsed time since the last check increases the likelihood of seized calipers or corrosion on brake discs and lines. Given the high mileage, a thorough check for fluid leaks and the perished rubber components is essential, as these elements often degrade rapidly after the 150,000-mile mark.
