2019 BMW X6 3.0L Diesel · MX19 ORC

The most recent MOT on 2026-04-24 confirmed the 2019 BMW X6 passed with 39,548 miles, but the preceding test on 2026-04-23 revealed two critical tyre defects. The offside front tyre was worn close to the legal limit, and the nearside front tyre had a cut deep enough to expose the ply or cords. These issues were resolved before the later pass, but the proximity of the failures suggests potential oversight in tyre maintenance. Tyre-related defects appear to be the primary recurring issue. A 2025-04-11 MOT noted the nearside rear tyre was worn close to the legal limit, and the 2026 failures focused on front tyres. While the latest MOT passed, the pattern indicates consistent tyre wear, possibly linked to driving habits, alignment, or under-inflation. No other defects were recorded in older MOTs, but the recent focus on tyres highlights a specific risk area. The vehicle’s mileage of 39,548 miles for a 7-year-old car is low, averaging 5,650 miles annually. This could reflect light use or extended periods of inactivity, both of which may impact components like tyres (through dry rot or uneven wear) and fluids (stagnation). However, the absence of major defects in earlier MOTs (2024-2022) suggests the car has generally been well-maintained, with tyre issues being the main exception.
