2018 BMW 730 3.0L Diesel · RX68 XYG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on March 31, 2026, at 128,210 miles. While the most recent result is clean, the maintenance trend shows a significant lapse in care immediately prior to that test. A failure just two weeks earlier at 128,170 miles revealed multiple critical issues ranging from tyre neglect to complex mechanical failures. This indicates that while the owner is willing to rectify faults to pass the MOT, proactive maintenance of consumables and electronic systems appears inconsistent. At 128,210 miles over eight years, this BMW has averaged approximately 16,000 miles per year, which is considerably above the national average for a luxury saloon. The data shows a period of heavy usage, particularly the 14,673 miles covered between May 2025 and March 2026. This high-frequency usage pattern correlates with the accelerated wear seen in the record. The rapid accumulation puts substantial strain on the complex air suspension system and drivetrain components, which are prone to expensive failure at this high-mileage bracket. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the air suspension system, as the March 2026 failure flagged an inoperative nearside rear suspension arm. This suggests a potential leak in the air bags or compressor failure that could lead to costly repairs if not monitored. The record also noted multiple tyres with sidewall cracking and uneven edge wear, suggesting the previous owner ignored basic safety requirements until the test failed. You should verify the tyre pressure monitoring system is now fully functional, as this was a specific point of failure in the most recent test.
