Our Verdict
This is a highly recommended example of
Given the extremely low mileage recorded—just 1,160 miles as of August 2025—your primary focus should be on whether the vehicle has been subject to long periods of inactivity. While the MOT history is clean, very low mileage on a petrol engine can sometimes lead to issues like battery degradation or tyre flat-spotting.
When inspecting, check the service history to ensure that even if the car hasn't been driven much, it has been serviced according to the manufacturer's time intervals. For a 2017 BMW, this is crucial for maintaining engine health. Negotiate based on the rarity of such low mileage, but ensure the price reflects the potential need for fresh fluids or rubber components that age regardless of distance travelled.
As a 2,979cc petrol model, running costs will be higher than the standard 4 Series diesel or smaller petrol variants. Expect higher fuel consumption and a higher insurance group due to the larger engine capacity.
Maintenance costs for BMW parts and specialist labour can be significant. However, because the mileage is so low, you may find that wear-and-tear items like brake pads and discs have not been used heavily. Annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and scheduled maintenance, are estimated to be in the mid-to-high range for this class of vehicle.
While this specific vehicle has no recorded MOT failures, the aggregate data for this model suggests you should pay close attention to the tyres, road wheel fixings, and shock absorbers, as these are the most common failure points for the 4 Series.
Specifically for this low-mileage example, inspect the tyres for age-related cracking (perishing) rather than tread depth, and check the battery health. Ensure there are no signs of fluid leaks under the engine bay, which can sometimes occur when a vehicle sits idle for extended periods.
Registered in May 2017, this white 2.9L petrol 4 Series has covered significantly less mileage than the model average of 7,454 miles per year. With only 1,160 miles recorded at its most recent MOT in August 2025, the vehicle appears to have been used very sparingly. The MOT history across three tests shows no failures or advisories, which is a notable trend for this specific registration.
Aggregate data from 1,413 analysed vehicles shows an 86.4% average MOT pass rate, with common issues relating to tyres, wheel fixings, and shock absorbers.
