2017 BMW 730 3.0L Diesel · RO02 AAT

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a clean record of passes over the last five years. The most recent test in October 2025 at 126,541 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend. This consistency suggests that the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical requirements before they triggered MOT failures, avoiding the common pitfalls often seen with luxury vehicles of this age. The mileage profile shows a significant acceleration in usage over the vehicle's life. Between September 2021 at 54,606 miles and October 2025 at 126,541 miles, the car covered over 72,000 miles, averaging approximately 18,000 miles per year. This is a sharp increase from the earlier period where the vehicle covered only about 13,000 miles annually. While the high mileage indicates frequent motorway driving which can be kinder to the engine, it places considerable strain on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and cooling systems of a BMW 7 Series. Despite the lack of recorded advisories, a physical inspection must focus on high-wear areas typical of high-mileage executive sal. The buyer should examine the condition of the control arm bushings and shock absorbers for leaks, as the heavy weight of this chassis accelerates rubber degradation. Given the rapid mileage accumulation, checking for brake disc thinning or uneven wear and inspecting the turbocharger housing for any oil leaks is essential, as the MOT does not assess the remaining life of these critical components.
