2016 BMW 320 2.0L Diesel · YH66 AAJ

The 2026‑05‑19 MOT passed with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness, yet the recurring tyre tread failures across three tests show a persistent issue that has not resolved, indicating a trend that is not improving. The vehicle has accumulated 94,241 miles since its 2016 manufacture, averaging 9,424 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a ten‑year‑old car. Mileage increments are consistent: from 53,119 miles in November 2022 to 72,088 miles in May 2024 the car covered about 19,000 miles, and subsequent yearly increases of roughly 11,000 miles each year show no extended periods of inactivity. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs and wheel alignment, as the repeated edge wear on all four tyres suggests possible mis‑alignment or worn components. The rear brake pad thickness recorded at 1.1 mm in May 2024 warrants a close check of pad wear, disc condition and caliper binding, even though the latest test listed no brake defects. Any signs of structural rust or corrosion should also be examined, though the record contains no explicit rust advisories. In short, the car is presently roadworthy, but the documented tyre wear and brake pad degradation signal that the suspension and braking systems merit thorough inspection before purchase.
