2013 BMW X6 3.0L Diesel · LR63 GLY

The most recent MOT on May 15, 2026, shows a pass, but you should budget for immediate replacements as both rear tyres were recorded as worn close to the legal limit. This advisory is particularly significant because it was issued just two weeks ago, meaning the tyres are likely already illegal or very close to it now. The history reveals a specific pattern of suspension deterioration. In June 2024, the vehicle failed its test due to excessively worn pins and bushes on the front lower suspension arms on both the nearside and offside. While this was rectified for a pass three days later, the failure of both sides simultaneously suggests age-related fatigue rather than isolated damage. The overall condition trend appears stable but reflects a car of this age requiring ongoing maintenance. The jump from a clean record in 2022 to a mechanical failure in 2024 indicates that wear and tear is accelerating. With roughly 7,500 miles covered per year, the usage is typical, so the mechanical issues are consistent with the vehicle's age rather than caused by excessive mileage or long periods of inactivity. When inspecting the vehicle, prioritize checking the rear tyre tread depth and look for signs of uneven wear that might indicate tracking issues. You should also verify the quality of the front suspension repair from 2024 and listen for any knocking noises from the front end during a test drive.
