2009 BMW X63.0L DIESEL

The 2026-04-23 MOT shows the vehicle passed with minor issues: headlamp lens contamination, a deteriorated front registration plate, a non-excessive oil leak, and rear brake disc wear. These are consistent with earlier reports, indicating ongoing maintenance challenges. The oil leak has been noted in four of the last five MOTs, suggesting a persistent but manageable issue. The rear brake disc wear, first recorded in 2026, aligns with the 2023 MOT’s front brake disc wear, hinting at potential brake system degradation over time. Recurring issues include headlamp lens contamination, registration plate deterioration, and oil leaks, all classified as non-critical but repetitive. The 2024-02-17 MOT failure highlights more severe concerns: a fractured coil spring, incorrect tyre rotation, and an untestable brake system due to suspension damage. These failures, combined with the 2025 MOT’s tyre wear near legal limits, suggest uneven component wear and possible neglect in addressing mechanical faults. The trend shows some stabilization in recent MOTs, as the 2026 test passed without major failures. However, the persistence of oil leaks, brake disc wear, and suspension-related issues since 2023 indicates underlying problems that may worsen. The 2024 failure and subsequent repairs (if any) are unclear, but the lack of improvement in recurring issues implies ongoing maintenance demands.
