2009 BMW 1 Series 2.0L Diesel · LS59 CCY

The most recent MOT on 2026-01-05 recorded a pass , but multiple advisories highlighted significant issues. The nearside front tyre was worn close to the legal limit, and the nearside rear service brake excessively bound. The front windscreen washer provided insufficient liquid, the front exhaust flexi pipe was insecure, and both rear tyres had tread depths below the 1.6mm legal minimum. These findings indicate ongoing mechanical and safety concerns, despite the vehicle passing the test. A recurring pattern of tyre wear and brake system faults emerges from the MOT history. Tyres on both the nearside and offside rear axles were repeatedly flagged for being close to the legal limit or worn on the edges, dating back to 2024. The nearside rear brake binding was first recorded in 2026, but similar issues with the front windscreen washer and exhaust system appeared in earlier failures. These suggest potential underlying problems, such as uneven tyre wear from alignment issues or brake component degradation. The trend shows no clear improvement in the vehicle’s condition. While the 2026 MOT was a pass, the same date included a failed test with identical or similar defects to prior entries.
