2013 BMW 1 Series 2.0L Diesel · LR13 NFU

The most recent MOT on 2025-08-08 recorded two rear tyres worn close to the legal limit, both with 2.5mm tread depth. This indicates ongoing tyre wear, likely due to consistent use or improper alignment. The 2024-07-11 MOT also noted similar tyre issues, alongside rear brake discs that were worn, pitted, or scored but not seriously weakened. These recurring tyre and brake disc concerns suggest a pattern of gradual wear rather than sudden failure. Since 2022, rear brake discs have been repeatedly flagged for wear, with the 2023-07-18 MOT failure including additional issues like an insecure rear exhaust silencer and a damaged anti-roll bar dust cover. While subsequent MOTs (2023-07-27 and 2024-07-11) showed improvements—such as the exhaust silencer being fixed—the brake disc and tyre issues persisted. This indicates that while some repairs were addressed, underlying wear on critical components like brakes and tyres remains unresolved. The vehicle’s mileage of 154,142 miles over 13 years equates to roughly 11,857 miles per year, which is typical for its age. This suggests average usage rather than heavy or light driving, but the consistent brake and tyre wear implies regular operation without significant periods of inactivity. However, the lack of major defects in earlier MOTs (before 2022) and the recent focus on minor issues like oil leaks (not excessive) indicate the vehicle has generally been maintained but shows signs of aging components.
