2015 BMW 2 Series 3.0L Petrol · DV65 EYG

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding suspension and tyre management. In the most recent test in September 2025 at 106,817 miles, the front inner tyre was flagged for nearing legal limits with uneven wear, alongside oil misting on the nearside front shock absorber. This shock absorber issue is a recurrence from the 2024 test, indicating that the component is failing and has not been replaced despite the previous warning. The mileage pattern is consistent with an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,700 miles per annum. Data shows regular annual testing intervals with a gap of roughly 9,300 miles between the 2024 and 2025 inspections. This steady accumulation suggests a predictable usage pattern, though the failure in September 2023 at 88,359 miles due to a deep sidewall cut indicates that the owner only addresses critical safety defects once an MOT failure occurs rather than performing preventative maintenance. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension and steering assembly. The 2024 record noted slight free play in the offside front steering rack arm, which, combined with the leaking shock absorber, suggests significant wear in the front-end components. Furthermore, recurring reports of uneven tyre wear on both front and rear axles in 2022 and 2025 point to a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that will continue to scrub through new tyres if not rectified.
