2019 BMW 5 Series 3.0L Diesel · M6 CGJ

The most recent MOT on 10 January 2026 recorded a failure at 63,877 mi. The reasons were rear tyre tread at the legal limit, edge cracking, and headlamp aim too low on both sides. The same date also shows a pass entry, but the failure supersedes it for road‑legality. The only recurring issue in the record is tyre condition – the 2026 test flags worn rear tyres, whereas the previous three years (2023‑2025) were completely clean. Headlamp aim appears for the first time, suggesting a new alignment or headlamp adjustment problem rather than a long‑standing fault. The trend has shifted from a stable, defect‑free pattern to emerging wear concerns. While the vehicle’s mileage – 63,877 mi over roughly seven years (≈9,100 mi/yr) – is typical for its age, the recent tyre wear could indicate either heavier recent use or that the tyres have simply reached the end of their service life. The mileage itself does not point to excessive wear on the drivetrain or suspension, but the tyre condition warrants attention. For a buyer, the first checks should be: - Inspect the rear tyres for tread depth, sidewall cracks, and overall condition; consider replacing them if they are close to the legal limit. - Verify headlamp aim and adjust if necessary; a mis‑aim can affect night‑time safety and may need a professional alignment check.
