2016 BMW 420 2.0L Petrol · SC16 AEG

The 2026‑04‑20 MOT record shows a failure due to an offside rear tyre cut that exceeds the legal depth, rendering the vehicle not roadworthy at that test; the earlier PASSED entry on the same date with lower mileage appears contradictory. Recurring tyre wear on the offside rear and progressive brake disc wear from 2023 through 2026 indicate a maintenance pattern that has not improved and may be worsening. The vehicle is ten years old and carries 25,239 miles, roughly 2,500 miles per year, which is low for its age, yet the mileage trajectory is uneven: it rose from 14,297 miles in 2019 to 32,558 miles in 2025 before dropping to 25,239 miles in the 2026 test, suggesting possible odometer discrepancies or multiple recordings. A buyer should therefore examine the offside rear tyre for cuts and tread depth, inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for corrosion or looseness, test the brake calipers for binding and the discs for pitting or scoring, and verify structural integrity for rust and exhaust condition. The repeated tyre failures and brake disc wear imply that routine tyre replacement and brake service may have been delayed, raising questions about the thoroughness of previous maintenance; a detailed physical inspection is essential before any purchase decision.
