2010 BMW 635 3.0L Diesel · LD10 WVZ

The most recent MOT on 2025-09-11 at 164,221 miles passed with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance record with no recent failures. Earlier a 2021 failure on headlamp aim shows occasional issues but the overall trend remains stable. The vehicle has accumulated roughly 10,264 miles per year since 2010, which aligns with typical usage for a 16‑year‑old car. Mileage increments show rapid growth between 2014 and 2015 (from 71,953 to 88,193 miles) and again from 2015 to 2016 (88,193 to 100,034 miles), while later years show more modest annual increases, with only 3,051 miles added between 2023 and 2024 and 5,204 miles between 2024 and 2025, suggesting the car has been relatively idle in recent years. The history flags persistent brake wear – pads near 75% worn in 2016 and thin pads recorded in 2014 – and repeatedly pitted or corroded front and rear discs, indicating potential disc failure; the under‑tray fitted on several occasions obscures suspension bushes, coil springs and structural rust, so a thorough visual inspection of the underside is essential. Tyre wear patterns, especially uneven edge wear on front tyres and near‑limit tread on rear tyres, point to possible alignment or suspension issues, while the 2021 headlamp aim defect and windscreen chip suggest ancillary components that should be verified.
