Its extended wheelbase prioritises rear-seat room, placing it among the UK’s premium chauffeur-style cars and a comfortable alternative to large luxury rivals. Best suited to business users, frequent motorway travellers and families wanting quiet, generous space, the 3.0-litre diesel and automatic gearbox make long journeys feel relaxed. Mycarcheck records 540 look-ups across 146 distinct VINs, a useful sample; the average recorded mileage is 108,000, with about 9,000 miles driven annually and nearly three previous keepers. Checks show an average valuation of £9,600, a useful guide when judging condition and history. The 730Ld is known for understated style, a refined ride and rear-seat comfort. Against the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Audi A8, it offers a spacious experience; check service records and mileage carefully.
