2022 BMW M4 Competition M Xdrive Auto 3.0L Petrol · 1 UDP

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, but the MOT history reveals a persistent trend of poor alignment geometry. The most recent test on 20 May 2026 at 23,561 miles flagged an advisory for an offside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit with significant inner edge wear. This mirrors the issues found in the April 2025 test at 19,946 miles, where both the nearside and offside front tyres were noted for heavy wear on the inner edges. While the car has passed its inspections, the recurring nature of uneven tyre degradation indicates an unresolved mechanical fault. At 23,561 miles over four years, the vehicle has covered significantly below average mileage, averaging approximately 5,900 miles per year. This low usage generally suggests that mechanical components like the drivetrain and engine have faced less operational stress. However, the gap of roughly 3,600 miles between the April 2025 and 2026 tests indicates consistent but infrequent use, which can sometimes lead to flat-spotting tyres or degradation of rubber components if the vehicle sits for extended periods. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and steering components to identify the cause of the inner-edge tyre wear. This pattern frequently points toward worn control arm bushes, faulty tie rods, or incorrect camber settings that were never addressed. You should also check the current tyres for signs of uneven wear, as the history suggests the previous owner ignored the alignment issues between tests. Given the high-performance nature of the M4, a professional alignment check is essential to ensure the vehicle handles correctly and does not prematurely consume expensive sets of tyres.
