2019 BMW 216D Luxury 1.5L Diesel · RL19 ADV

The roadworthiness record for this vehicle is characterized by a consistent pass rate across five tests, though it exhibits a recurring pattern of tyre-related advisories. The most recent test on 12 March 2026 resulted in a pass, maintaining a stable trend of compliance with DVSA standards, although the presence of tyre wear and perishing has been a persistent theme in the most recent inspections. With 43,400 recorded miles over approximately seven years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 6,200 miles per year. This usage profile is typical for its age, suggesting a balanced distribution of road use that avoids the extreme wear associated with high-mileage commuting while mitigating the risks often associated with prolonged inactivity. Mechanically, this mileage indicates that major drivetrain components and suspension bushes should not have suffered excessive wear based on distance alone. Attention should be directed toward the condition of the tyres, as the MOT history reveals specific issues with both wear and material degradation. The offside rear tyre was flagged for cracking and perishing in both 2024 and 2025, and the nearside front tyre was noted as worn close to the legal limit on the edge during the 2026 inspection. This suggests a need to verify the current tread depth and the physical integrity of the sidewalls across all four corners to ensure these items have been replaced. During a test drive, the buyer should monitor for any steering pull or vibration that could indicate wheel misalignment, especially given the edge wear noted on the front tyres. It is advisable to physically inspect the offside rear tyre for visible weather cracking or perishing that may have persisted since the 2025 test. While no structural corrosion, braking defects, or suspension failures have been recorded, a thorough check of the tyre contact patches will confirm if the previous advisories have been rectified.
