BMW M22020 · 3.0L PETROL

The most recent MOT on 2025-08-26 recorded a PASS with no defects, indicating the vehicle met safety standards at 19,206 miles. This is the first MOT without recorded issues, suggesting potential resolution of prior concerns. However, the two preceding MOTs in 2024 and 2023 both highlighted recurring brake disc problems. Specifically, front brake discs were noted as "worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened" with corrosion on both faces, referencing the same MOT category (1.1.14 (a) (ii)). These findings imply consistent exposure to moisture or inadequate use, leading to surface corrosion and minor wear. The trend in brake disc conditions appears stable rather than worsening. The 2023 and 2024 MOTs documented identical issues, but the 2025 MOT showed no defects, which could indicate repairs or improved maintenance. However, the lack of detailed repair records in the MOT history means this remains speculative. The vehicle’s low mileage of 19,206 miles over six years (roughly 3,200 miles annually) suggests infrequent use or periods of inactivity. While lower mileage typically reduces wear on components like brakes and suspension, it can also lead to issues such as corrosion from standing, as seen in the brake discs.
