2021 BMW M4 Competition Auto 3.0L Petrol · LD71 DYX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While the car passed its September 2025 test at 22,942 miles, it had failed just one day prior with multiple critical defects. The tester identified both the nearside and offside front tyres with exposed cords and an excessively chafed offside rear brake hose. The fact that these issues were rectified immediately to secure a pass following day suggests the owner only addressed faults when a legal failure was imminent. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old performance vehicle, averaging approximately 4,588 miles per year. Between September 2024 and September 2025, the car covered 5,804 miles, indicating a slight recent increase in usage. While low mileage generally preserves the drivetrain and engine components, long periods of standing stationary can lead to the degradation of rubber components and flat-spotting, which may align with the findings of perished brake hose material. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the suspension and alignment geometry. The 2024 test at 17,138 miles flagged both front tyres as wearing on the inner edge alongside rear tyres reaching the legal limit. This consistent uneven wear often points to incorrect camber or worn suspension bushes which have not been addressed in the MOT records. The buyer should also inspect the brake lines for further signs of cracking or damage to ensure the previous failure for a chafed hose was not an isolated incident of poor underbody maintenance.
