2017 BMW 740 3.0L Diesel · CY12 USH

The most recent MOT on 2025-09-23 showed the vehicle passed, but it recorded front tyres worn close to legal limits and front brake discs that were pitted or scored. A day earlier, on 2025-09-22, the same vehicle failed due to similar tyre wear, rear tyres with tread below 1.6mm, and non-conforming registration plates. These issues suggest ongoing tyre degradation and potential brake disc wear, though the latter was not classified as critical. Recurring defects include front tyre wear and brake disc condition, with front tyres consistently approaching legal limits. The 2024-07-02 MOT noted front and rear brake discs as "worn but not excessively," indicating gradual deterioration. No major safety risks were recorded in earlier MOTs (2023-05-27 and 2022-11-03), but the 2025 failures highlight a shift toward more severe tyre and brake-related issues. The trend shows stable but concerning wear patterns. Tyre issues have persisted for over a year, with rear tyres failing in 2025 after earlier front tyre warnings. Brake discs have shown progressive wear but remain within acceptable limits. The vehicle’s high mileage (14,892 miles annually) likely accelerates component fatigue, though no evidence of major mechanical failure exists.
