2022 BMW M340I Xdrive Mhev Auto 3.0L Hybrid electric · RA71 AOP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 27 February 2026 at 28,171 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is inconsistent. While the car has a clean bill of health now, it failed two separate tests within the last eighteen months due to distinct mechanical and safety issues. Mileage accumulation is typical for a four year old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,000 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between the January 2025 test at 15,568 miles and the February 2026 test at 28,171 miles. This period saw the car cover nearly 13,000 miles, which explains the increased wear and tear leading up to the most recent inspection. The history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. In January 2025, the tester flagged a structural failure of the nearside front tyre, indicating a bulge caused by separation. More critically, the vehicle failed on 25 February 2026 due to a coolant leak described as harmful to the environment or a risk to other road users. This leak was rectified within two days to secure the pass on 27 February. A buyer should specifically verify the quality of the coolant leak repair to ensure no residual seepage remains around the hoses or radiator. Given the structural tyre failure in 2025, a thorough inspection of the remaining tyre sidewalls and wheel alignment is advisable to rule out impact damage. The absence of advisories regarding brake discs or suspension bushes is positive, but the coolant failure suggests the cooling system requires close scrutiny.
