2016 BMW 3 Series 2.0L Diesel · N12 VFR

The 2016 BMW 3 Series has a recent MOT history showing consistent pass results, but recurring tyre wear issues. The most recent MOT on 2025-09-23 recorded both nearside and offside front tyres worn close to the legal limit, with similar findings for the nearside rear tyre in 2024-09-10. These defects relate to edge wear, which may indicate alignment, suspension, or tyre pressure issues. No other defects were noted in MOTs from 2023-08-03 onward, suggesting the vehicle has otherwise remained in good condition. The pattern of tyre wear has persisted across multiple MOTs, with the 2025 entry showing front tyres now approaching the limit. This suggests a potential ongoing issue, though the exact cause (e.g., alignment, driving habits, or under-inflation) is not specified in the records. The trend does not show worsening severity in terms of new defects, but the repeated focus on tyre condition highlights a recurring risk. The vehicle’s mileage of 45,201 miles over 10 years equates to roughly 4,520 miles annually, which is lower than average for its age. This could indicate light use or periods of inactivity, which might affect components like tyres (risking dry rot) or fluids (potential degradation). However, the MOT history does not confirm these assumptions, and the absence of other defects suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained.
