2004 BMW 645 4.4L Petrol · M6 CGK

This 2004 BMW 645 has a mileage of 135,941 miles, which averages roughly 6,179 miles per year. This is typical for a vehicle of its age, suggesting it hasn't been excessively driven but also hasn't spent long periods sitting idle. The most recent MOT from March 2026 was a pass, but the vehicle shows a clear and worsening pattern of mechanical deterioration. While the car passed, the list of advisories is extensive and indicates significant wear across multiple systems. There is a recurring and serious issue with brake pipe corrosion and oil leaks that has been noted consistently since at least 2024. The suspension and steering components are also showing a steady decline; recent entries show multiple worn suspension arm bushes, failing shock absorbers, and play in the steering rack inner joints. The presence of pitted brake discs and a wheel bearing with play further suggests that the maintenance of consumables is being deferred. The condition trend is clearly worsening. The vehicle moved from having no recorded defects in 2018 and 2020 to a significant number of failures and advisories in 2024 and 2026. The sheer volume of advisory items in the latest test suggests the car is entering a phase where multiple expensive repairs will be required to maintain safety and roadworthiness.
