2017 BMW 420 2.0L Diesel · DO11 JOD

The most recent MOT on 2022-09-21 shows a mixed outcome, with the vehicle both passing and failing on the same date. The passing assessment noted nearside front tyre wear close to the legal limit and minor brake disc scoring, while the failing assessment included serious issues like a damaged rear view mirror, non-functional position lamps, ineffective windscreen wipers, and multiple tyre and brake defects. This inconsistency suggests potential errors in the MOT record or unresolved repairs between tests. Recurring mechanical issues include tyre wear, brake disc scoring, and brake pad wear. Tyres were flagged as near the legal limit in 2022, with one rear tyre having a cut exposing inner ply. Brake discs showed consistent scoring without serious weakening, and brake pads reached wear indicators in 2022. These patterns indicate ongoing maintenance needs, particularly for tyres and braking components. The trend from 2020 to 2022 shows a shift from a clean MOT to multiple failures, suggesting worsening conditions. However, the 2022-09-21 pass implies some repairs were addressed. The vehicle’s low mileage (5,435 miles annually) may reflect light use or periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on tyres and brakes due to standing.
