2004 BMW 645 4.4L Petrol · YC04 TOK

The vehicle presents a current roadworthy status with a clean pass recorded on 28 March 2023 at 126,489 miles, and the maintenance trend appears stable given the absence of any logged defects across the five most recent tests. The history shows no recurring mechanical or structural faults, though the sequence of failures immediately preceding passes on the same or next day suggests administrative re-tests rather than repaired defects. The odometer reads 126,489 miles against a 2004 build date, equating to roughly 5,750 miles per year, which is low for a 22-year-old BMW 645. Between the 3 February 2022 test at 123,307 miles and the 31 January 2023 failure at 125,201 miles the car covered only 1,894 miles, then added 1,288 miles by late March 2023. Such low annual use over two decades implies long standing periods, which commonly accelerates rubber perishing in suspension bushes and coolant hose degradation even where the MOT log stays clean. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the underside for structural corrosion, as the V8-era BMW chassis suffers from subframe mounting rust where cars sit unused. The brake discs and calipers warrant measurement for pitting after prolonged inactivity, and the tyres should be checked for sidewall cracking from age rather than wear. The spotless advisory record offers no warning of consumable condition, so assume all fluids, filters, and flexible components are due regardless of the passed tests.
