2021 BMW 330E M Sport Auto 2.0L Hybrid electric · DX71 BYD

The vehicle presents a stable and improving roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT, conducted on 24 February 2026 at 118,134 miles, returned a completely clean pass with zero defects recorded. This is a marked improvement over the previous two tests, indicating that the previous owner addressed the tyre wear issues that had been recurring. The maintenance trend is clearly resolving, moving from advisories on multiple tyres to a flawless test outcome within a four-month window. At roughly five years old, the recorded mileage of 118,134 miles equates to an annual accumulation of approximately 23,627 miles, which is notably high for a plug-in hybrid executive saloon. The MOT intervals reveal a pattern of rapid accumulation. Between the July 2024 test at 76,371 miles and the July 2025 test at 103,695 miles, the vehicle covered 27,324 miles in twelve months. A further 14,439 miles were added in the seven months leading to the February 2026 test. This sustained high mileage places accelerated stress on consumable components, particularly the braking system, suspension bushes, and drivetrain mounts, far beyond what a typical 10,000-mile-per-year usage pattern would impose. Despite the clean recent result, the recurring tyre wear advisories in July 2025 and July 2024 warrant close physical inspection. Both front and rear tyres were flagged as worn on the edges, a pattern often indicative of aggressive driving, underinflation, or worn suspension geometry components such as deteriorated wishbone bushes or worn track rod ends. A prospective buyer should thoroughly inspect the inner and outer sidewalls of all four tyres for uneven wear and have the suspension and steering alignment checked on a four-post lift. The high mileage also demands a careful assessment of the brake discs and pads, along with the condition of the exhaust system and underbody for corrosion, as these components endure significantly more thermal and mechanical cycling in a heavily used vehicle.
