The titanium serial makes no sense it is way too high and Brompton “just” started with titanium in 2021 the P-Line with a titanium rear rectangle and T-Line full frame titanium in 2022.
Age some where from 2010-2016 by the sticker award and old style gear selector, I think the current gear selector came in 2017
Pretty sure this is not titanium. The old super light bikes used a natural metal grey colour like the CHPT3 ones do now. They carried the “L” in the name so M6L was M type bar, 6 speed, Light.
Do you have a frame number? This will help you date it.
