BMW X22023 · 1.5L PETROL

The most recent MOT on 2026-01-23 recorded a pass for the 2023 BMW X2 with 45,990 miles. However, a prior MOT on 2026-01-20 (just three days earlier) showed a failure, highlighting two issues: a non-working nearside side repeater and an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit. Both MOTs occurred within a 198-mile range, suggesting minimal usage between inspections. The tyre’s condition was flagged in both entries, indicating persistent wear that was not resolved. The side repeater issue was addressed between inspections, as it did not reappear in the later pass. The recurring pattern involves the same tyre wear defect, which could signal improper maintenance, uneven driving habits, or a lack of timely replacement. While the side repeater was fixed, the tyre’s condition remains a concern. The vehicle’s high annual mileage (15,330 miles/year) for its age (3 years) suggests frequent use, which may accelerate wear on components like tyres, brakes, and suspension. However, the MOT history does not reveal broader mechanical issues beyond these two points, so the trend appears stable rather than worsening. The high mileage relative to age implies the vehicle has likely experienced consistent use, which can strain consumables and mechanical systems.
