BMW M22019 · 3.0L Petrol

The most recent MOT from July 2025 shows a pass, but the vehicle failed immediately prior due to a combination of structural tyre damage and significant uneven wear on the front tyres. There is a recurring pattern of tyre-related failures. The car failed in July 2024 because of cuts in both rear tyres that reached the cords, and it failed again in July 2025 due to a similar cut in a rear tyre and the front tyres wearing prematurely on their inner edges. This indicates a worsening trend where the vehicle is experiencing both impact damage and potential alignment issues. The mileage of 52,825 is typical for a seven-year-old car, averaging about 7,500 miles per year. While this is standard usage, the history of tyre cuts and uneven wear may suggest the car has been driven aggressively or on poor road surfaces. Before purchasing, you should prioritise a professional inspection of the wheel alignment and suspension components to investigate the cause of the uneven front tyre wear. You must also check all tyres thoroughly for any hidden cuts or structural damage.
