2013 BMW 3 Series 2.0L Diesel · OY63 VSP

The most recent MOT on 2025-06-18 recorded 124,772 miles and resulted in a pass , but several safety-critical issues were noted. The offside front seat belt webbing was slightly damaged, and all four rear tyres showed significant wear, with two nearing the legal limit and one having minor tread cuts. These issues suggest ongoing maintenance needs, particularly for tyres and seat belts, which are critical for occupant safety. A fail occurred just one day earlier on 2025-06-17, with multiple electrical and braking system faults. The anti-lock braking system (ABS) warning lamp indicated a fault, and an ABS sensor was missing. The electronic stability control (ESC) warning lamp also malfunctioned, and the tyre pressure monitoring system was inoperative. These issues point to potential electrical or sensor-related problems that could compromise braking performance and vehicle stability. Recurring mechanical patterns include brake wear and tyre degradation . Brake discs and pads have been flagged in multiple MOTs, with rear brake pads wearing thin in 2024 and brake discs showing progressive wear since 2023. Tyre issues, including near-limit wear and minor cuts, have persisted across multiple inspections.
