BMW M22016 · 3.0L PETROL

This 2016 BMW M2 shows a concerning shift in its maintenance trajectory. While the car maintained a clean MOT record from 2021 through 2024, the most recent test in August 2025 reveals significant mechanical neglect that suggests the vehicle has not been kept to the standard required for a high-performance machine. The primary risk pattern is concentrated in the braking system. The 2025 MOT highlighted a noisy front brake, a persistent brake warning light, and a parking brake that barely met efficiency requirements. These are not minor advisories; they indicate that the braking components have been pushed past their service life or were improperly maintained. The fact that the tester could not fully inspect the pads suggests a level of wear or obstruction that demands immediate professional intervention. The low annual mileage of approximately 4,641 miles per year is a double-edged sword for this specific model. While it suggests the car has not been driven extensively, low-mileage performance vehicles can suffer from seized components or degraded rubber seals if they have sat idle for long periods. The tyre wear noted on the outer edge, combined with the braking issues, suggests the car may have been driven hard over short distances without the necessary preventative maintenance to keep the consumables in peak condition. The trend is clearly worsening.
