BMW Z42022 · 3.0L PETROL

The 2026 MOT for the 2022 BMW Z4 shows a "PASSED" result with one minor issue: the nearside front directional tyre was fitted incorrectly. This suggests a recent repair or replacement that did not meet standards, though the vehicle was still deemed roadworthy. The 2025 MOT, recorded 12 months prior, revealed multiple tyre-related defects: all three rear tyres and the nearside front tyre were worn close to the legal limit, with specific mention of inner-edge wear on the nearside front and both rear tyres. This pattern indicates a recurring issue with tyre wear, likely linked to alignment, suspension, or driving habits. The trend in tyre wear appears to be stabilizing, as the 2026 MOT did not flag the rear tyres, implying they may have been replaced or addressed. However, the 2025 defects highlight a consistent risk of uneven tyre degradation, which could signal underlying mechanical problems such as misalignment, worn suspension components, or improper tyre pressure monitoring. The 2026 repair of the front tyre suggests proactive maintenance, but the absence of rear tyre mentions in the latest report does not confirm their condition. Mileage of 26,763 miles over four years equates to roughly 6,691 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for the vehicle’s age. The 4,940-mile increase between the 2025 and 2026 MOTs (from 21,823 to 26,763 miles) suggests slightly reduced usage in the past year, which could imply lighter driving or periods of inactivity. However, this does not eliminate the risk of wear from prior usage, particularly given the 2025 tyre issues.
