2004 BMW 645 4.4L Petrol · LF04 FOH

The 2004 BMW 645 presents a stable and currently roadworthy maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 29 September 2025 at 68,677 miles with zero defects recorded. This recent outcome indicates the vehicle met all required safety and emissions standards at its last inspection. The pattern over the preceding two years shows a consistent ability to pass the MOT, suggesting the owner addresses necessary repairs promptly before the retest. The recorded mileage paints a picture of exceptionally low usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 3,122 miles per year. Between the October 2023 test at 67,635 miles and the September 2025 test at 68,677 miles, the car covered just over 1,000 miles across two full years. A data anomaly appears in the 2024 record showing 683,342 miles, which is clearly an administrative error, but the chronological progression otherwise confirms very light use. Such low mileage often points to extended periods of standing, which carries its own mechanical risks despite the reduced wear on consumables. A buyer must still inspect the vehicle thoroughly for issues common to low-mileage, aging grand tourers. The failed tests in October 2023 and October 2024 recorded no specific defects, suggesting the tests were likely abandoned or the vehicle was withdrawn rather than failed on mechanical grounds. The age of the 645 demands a close examination of structural integrity, particularly the subframes, sills, and suspension mounting points where corrosion can compromise safety. Long periods of inactivity can cause suspension bushes to perish and brake calipers to seize or bind, so a physical inspection of the braking system and a thorough underside check are essential before purchase.
