Spanner can help turn your car details into an advert.
Could suit you if…
- Your usual group fits within 5 seats, including the driver. Check passenger space and any child-seat fit in person.
- You want to compare a hybrid for everyday mixed driving: confirm the exact hybrid system and its real-world fuel use.
- You would prefer less gear changing in traffic: the recorded automatic transmission may suit. Try how this exact gearbox behaves on a test drive.
Think twice if…
- You need to carry more than 5 people together: the advert records 5 seats, including the driver.
- You are relying on low fuel bills or electric-only driving: mild, full and plug-in hybrids work differently. Confirm which system this version has.
- You need predictable ownership costs: at around 10 years old and 28,000 km, check maintenance records and upcoming work. Mileage alone does not tell you the car's condition.
- You need servicing to fit a tight budget: Spanner estimates higher maintenance costs for this type. Get quotes for the exact engine and gearbox before committing.
This is general guidance about this type of car and your needs — not an inspection or approval of this individual car.
Most 2016 BMW 7 Series hybrids are the 740e iPerformance plug‑in variant: a 2.0‑litre turbo petrol with an electric motor and an automatic gearbox. The high‑voltage battery reduces boot space and needs checking for capacity loss on a 10‑year car; also confirm the charging socket, EV range and whether the owner routinely charged it. Expect higher-than-average servicing bills (specialist BMW work, occasional software updates and air‑suspension repairs) but parts are readily obtainable in Ireland.
- Hybrid battery state‑of‑health report and current electric‑only range (PHEV capacity falls with age)
- Charging socket, cable and on‑board charger operation plus EV charging logs if available
- Automatic transmission service history (fluid/software updates) and smoothness of gear changes
- Adaptive air suspension for leaks/compressor noise and correct ride height at all corners
- Rear boot floor/undertray for corrosion where the battery sits and full operation of infotainment/cameras/sensors
