2022 BMW M3 3.0L Petrol · AE71 CXF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on 24 April 2026 at 38,863 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement as significant mechanical concerns from previous years have been addressed. While the most recent test resulted in a failure due to headlamp aim being too high on both sides, this is a minor adjustment issue that was rectified immediately, indicating the owner is willing to respond to MOT failures to maintain legal compliance. At 38,863 miles over four years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 9,700 miles per year. This mileage aligns with typical usage patterns for a high-performance road car. The data shows consistent use, with roughly 6,700 miles covered between the December 2023 and April 2025 tests, and another 13,200 miles covered in the final year. This regularity suggests the car is driven regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which generally benefits mechanical seals and rubber components. A buyer must focus closely on the suspension geometry and tyre condition. The April 2025 test at 25,646 miles flagged all four tyres for excessive inner edge wear and reaching the legal limit. This consistent pattern of inner tyre wear typically indicates a significant alignment issue, worn suspension bushes, or bent control arms. Despite the pass the following year, a physical inspection of the front subframe and bushings is essential to ensure the uneven wear has not caused premature damage to the drivetrain. The recurring issues with the rear fog lamp switch position and visibility noted in 2023 and 2025 suggest a minor ergonomic oversight or a non-standard component fit. While this does not impact mechanical roadworthiness, it reflects a lack of attention to minor trim details. There are no records of structural corrosion, brake failures, or fluid leaks in the history, suggesting the core structural integrity remains in good condition for the mileage.
