2018 BMW X4 3.0L Diesel · J40 RCC

The most recent MOT from March 2026 resulted in a pass, but it highlights a concerning lack of maintenance regarding the tyres. Three tyres are currently worn close to the legal limit, with the offside rear at 1.8mm and the nearside rear at 2mm. The nearside front is also worn on the outer edge. There is a clear pattern of tyre-related issues, including a nail in a tyre in 2024 and the current widespread wear. Combined with a 2023 failure for thin brake pads, the vehicle's condition trend appears to be worsening. While the 2025 test was clean, the current state of the tyres suggests that basic consumables are being neglected. The mileage is low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,900 miles per year. While low mileage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain, it can sometimes indicate periods of standing or a lack of regular preventative maintenance, which aligns with the current need for multiple new tyres. The specific mention of the front tyre being worn on the outer edge is a red flag for potential wheel alignment or suspension issues. This suggests the wear is not just due to age or mileage, but potentially a mechanical misalignment.
