2017 BMW M6 4.4L Petrol · SW04 DEX

The 2026-2024 MOT record indicates a lack of consistent maintenance, with the vehicle failing twice on the engine covers and undertrays in the September 2023 test at 44,471 miles. This pattern of failure suggests that basic upkeep was skipped during the ownership period, leading to a gradual deterioration of the engine components. The most recent test in February 2024 at 46,314 miles was a PASSED inspection, which contradicts the earlier record of failure, implying that the engine covers were fitted and potentially replaced or altered to allow full inspection. The mileage accumulation is significant for a 2017 vehicle, with approximately 5,146 miles per year. The gap between the September 2023 test and the February 2024 test represents a rapid increase of 1,843 miles, which is consistent with the vehicle's age and likely a lack of regular servicing. This rapid growth suggests that the vehicle was driven for extended periods without addressing wear on the engine covers or undertrays, a common issue for older models where standard maintenance intervals are not met. Given the recurring failure of the engine covers and undertrays, the vehicle is currently in a state of structural risk due to corrosion and lack of protection. While the engine covers themselves are not failing, the underlying components they protect are at risk of rust and degradation. Buyers should inspect the rear suspension bushes, coil springs, and binding calipers for binding, rust, or corrosion, as these are the primary mechanical components that have failed in the recent history. Additionally, the front registration plate and rear registration plate are failing to conform to the technical requirements, indicating that the vehicle may require further detailing or re-registration to meet safety standards.
