2015 BMW 740 3.0L Petrol · LF15 ADX

The 2025‑08‑22 MOT passed with no defects aside from a child seat that limited the adult belt inspection, showing that recent remedial work has restored roadworthiness; however, the earlier 2025‑08‑20 failure on wiper operation, headlamp aim, and parking brake efficiency, together with recurring parking brake advisories in 2020 and 2025, indicate that the maintenance trend is improving but not fully resolved. The vehicle has accumulated 188,148 miles over 11 years, averaging roughly 17,100 miles per year, a rate that is high for its age and suggests continuous use with likely accelerated wear on suspension, brakes and drivetrain components; mileage rose steadily from 46,052 miles in February 2018 to the current figure, with no significant gaps in the record. Recurring faults include worn front suspension bushes and pitted rear brake discs noted in the 2023 test, persistent parking brake efficiency shortfalls recorded in 2020 and 2025, and intermittent wiper and headlamp alignment issues; these patterns point to potential suspension component fatigue, brake system degradation, and the need to verify structural integrity and rust‑free panels. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the front and rear suspension bushes, examine brake discs and pads for scoring or excessive wear, test the parking brake mechanism, verify wiper operation and headlamp alignment, and look for any signs of structural corrosion or damage around the wheel arches and chassis given the high mileage and repeated advisory items.
