2015 BMW 640 3.0L Diesel · LC65 AZZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 80,614 miles passed, it followed two immediate failures just days prior due to a structural bulge in the offside front tyre. This indicates that the owner only addressed critical safety defects once forced by the MOT tester. The most recent pass also noted a damaged windscreen and a defective side repeater lens, suggesting that minor cosmetic and peripheral faults are frequently overlooked until the annual inspection period. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old luxury grand, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, with 9,551 miles covered between December 2023 and December 2024, and another 4,913 miles in the year leading up to the December 2025 tests. This rate suggests the car is not subjected to high motorway stress, which generally preserves the drivetrain components, though the relatively low annual mileage can sometimes lead to flat-spotting tyres or degradation of rubber components if the vehicle is not driven regularly. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension and braking systems during a physical visit. The 2024 advisory regarding rear tyres worn on the edge is a classic indicator of sub-optimal alignment issues or worn control arm bushes. Given the structural failure of the offside front tyre in 2025, the remaining tyres should be checked for similar uneven wear patterns or signs of impact-related damage. Because no structural corrosion or brake binding has been flagged yet, the focus should remain on the condition of the under trays and the integrity of the rubber seals to ensure the low mileage has not resulted in age-related perish.
