2016 BMW M2 3.0L Petrol · EY66 UFA

The vehicle presents a generally stable maintenance profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 15 July 2026 at 32,420 miles. While the vehicle remains roadworthy, the most recent test indicates a shift toward consumable wear, specifically noting that both offside and nearside front tyres are showing signs of cracking or perishing. This suggests that despite low mileage, the rubber is beginning to age and degrade due to time rather than tread wear. The mileage history confirms this is a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 3,242 miles per year over its ten-year lifespan. The data shows consistent, incremental increases in mileage, such as the jump from 26,256 miles in July 2023 to 29,568 miles in August 2024. There are no significant gaps in the testing frequency, though the vehicle has clearly spent long periods stationary, which aligns with the age-related tyre degradation noted in the 2026 record. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the rear differential after the August 2024 test flagged an oil leak, even though it was described as not excessive at the time. It is necessary to inspect the area around the rear differential for any signs of worsening seepage or fresh oil residue. The July 2025 advisory regarding both rear tyres wearing on the inner edges suggests a potential alignment issue or uneven suspension loading. I recommend a thorough check of the rear suspension bushes and camber settings to ensure the tyres are not being prematurely scrubbed. Given the recent advisories regarding perishing tyres and uneven wear, a physical inspection of all four tyres and the wheel alignment is essential. The transition from a clean record in 2023 to multiple advisories concerning tyres and leaks in subsequent years indicates that the vehicle is entering a phase where age-related maintenance of rubber components and seals becomes more frequent.
