2018 BMW 440 3.0L Petrol · AL53 ASA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a clean pass in the most recent test on 26 June 2026 at 61,000 miles. The maintenance trend shows improvement, moving from several minor failures related to consumables to a defect-free result in the latest inspection. While the vehicle failed in June 2025 due to a non-functional windscreen washer and in June 2024 due to a structural bulge in the offside front tyre, these issues were resolved promptly to achieve subsequent passes. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 30,712 miles in March 2021 to 61,000 miles in June 2026. There are no significant gaps in usage or evidence of long periods of inactivity, which suggests regular driving. The interval between tests has remained consistent, with annual inspections occurring every June since 2024. A buyer should focus on the condition of the tyres and wheel alignment. The MOT history reveals recurring issues with tyre wear and structural integrity, specifically the 2021 failure regarding tread depth on the nearside rear and offside rear, the 2022 advisory for edge wear on the offside front, and the 2024 failure involving a sidewall bulge on a Goodyear Eagle F1 run-flat. These faults suggest that while the vehicle is well-maintained mechanically, the owner has occasionally neglected tyre replacement or alignment checks. Given the history of tyre-related failures, a physical inspection of the current tread depth and sidewall condition is necessary. Check for uneven wear patterns that might indicate worn suspension bushes or incorrect camber settings. Although no issues with brakes, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion have been flagged, the recent clean pass suggests the core mechanical components are currently in a satisfactory state.
