BMW 1182020 · 1.5L PETROL

The most recent MOT on 2025-09-30 showed the vehicle passed with no defects. However, a prior MOT on 2025-09-29 revealed significant tyre-related defects. These included front and rear tyres with mismatched aspect ratios on the same axle, which can compromise handling, and a nearside rear tyre with a cut deep enough to expose ply or cords. A nearside front tyre had a shallower cut. These issues were resolved by the subsequent MOT, but the failure highlights potential risks related to tyre maintenance and safety. The MOT history shows no other defects in 2024 or 2023, indicating a generally clean record for most of the vehicle’s life. The only notable failure occurred in late 2025, suggesting a temporary issue rather than a recurring pattern. The trend of MOT outcomes appears stable, with no evidence of worsening mechanical or safety concerns. However, the single failure underscores the importance of verifying tyre condition and compliance during a pre-purchase inspection. The vehicle has 19,797 miles at 6 years old, averaging 3,300 miles per year.
