2018 BMW 6 Series 3.0L Diesel · X40 NAM

The 2026‑03‑11 MOT at 82,098 miles passed with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness, but the record shows a maintenance trend that is neither stable nor improving; repeated tyre failures and brake‑pad wear indicate inconsistent upkeep. The mileage trajectory from 30,723 miles in February 2021 to 82,098 miles in March 2026 represents an average annual increase of just over 10,000 miles, which aligns with typical usage for an eight‑year‑old vehicle. Each yearly interval shows steady growth, with the largest jump of 12,210 miles between the February 2023 and February 2024 tests, while earlier gaps remain modest, suggesting the car has been driven regularly without long periods of standing. A buyer should therefore focus on the recurring faults highlighted in the history: inspect all four tyres for cuts, bulges, separation or tread separation, especially the near‑side front tyre which has shown structural failure twice, and verify that the rear tyre cut noted in 2025 was repaired correctly; examine brake pads for the thin condition recorded in 2023 and 2025, and assess the condition of the brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear; check suspension bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers for wear or corrosion, and look for any structural rust or damage to the chassis, particularly on the off‑side front area where a bulge was recorded in 2023.
