BMW M22021 · 3.0L Petrol

The most recent MOT on 2026-04-01 recorded a coolant leak, which is a critical defect requiring immediate attention. This suggests potential issues with the engine’s cooling system, such as a faulty radiator, hose, or head gasket. Coolant leaks can lead to overheating and severe engine damage if left unaddressed. The 2025-03-17 MOT highlighted tyre wear on all four tyres, specifically inner-edge wear on the front and nearside rear tyres. This pattern often indicates alignment or suspension problems, such as misaligned wheels or worn suspension components. The 2024-03-27 MOT showed no defects, suggesting the current issues may have developed within the past 12–18 months. The trend shows a shift from a clean record in 2024 to recurring mechanical and safety concerns by 2025–2026. While the 2026 coolant leak is a standalone defect, the tyre wear issues from 2025 may point to an ongoing problem with alignment or suspension. These issues could worsen over time if not repaired, increasing the risk of further damage or unsafe driving conditions. The vehicle’s mileage of 23,728 miles over five years equates to roughly 4,746 miles per year, which is lower than average.
