2018 BMW M2 3.0L Petrol · EF18 AHD

The most recent MOT from May 2025 shows a departure from the vehicle's previous clean history, with several advisories recorded regarding the braking system. Specifically, the front brake pads are wearing thin, and the rear brake discs are showing signs of being worn, pitted, or scored. This represents a worsening trend in consumable wear compared to the three years of defect-free MOT results recorded between 2021 and 2024. The vehicle has covered 38,492 miles, which averages to roughly 4,812 miles per year. This is low mileage for an eight-year-old car. While lower usage typically implies less mechanical wear, the presence of pitted and scored discs can occasionally be an indicator of a vehicle that has undergone long periods of inactivity, allowing moisture to cause surface corrosion on the metal components. In summary, while the car has a solid history of passing inspections without defects, it is now due for essential brake maintenance. The low mileage is a positive factor, but the recent advisories suggest that the car's components are reaching the end of their service life or have been affected by infrequent use. When viewing the vehicle, your first priority should be a close inspection of the brake discs and pads to assess the severity of the pitting and wear. You should also check the tyres for any signs of age-related cracking or flat spots, which would further confirm whether the car has been sitting stationary for long periods.
