2022 BMW 420D Xdrive M Sport Mhev Auto 2.0L Electric diesel · YA71 FZG

The most recent MOT on 2026-01-23 confirmed the vehicle passed but highlighted two recurring issues: rear brake pads wearing thin and tyres approaching the legal limit. Both nearside and offside rear tyres were noted as worn close to the limit and on the edge, while both rear brake pads required attention. This mirrors a 2025-01-23 MOT entry that flagged the offside rear brake pad as wearing thin, indicating a pattern of brake wear. The trend suggests a worsening condition for rear brake components. In 2025, only the offside pad was flagged, but by 2026, both pads and tyres showed issues. This could signal uneven wear, potential alignment problems, or excessive brake usage. The tyres’ edge wear may also point to improper inflation, suspension misalignment, or aggressive driving habits. Mileage of 49,339 miles over four years equates to roughly 12,335 miles annually, which is higher than average for a vehicle of this age. While this could reflect regular use, it also increases the likelihood of accelerated wear on consumables like brakes, tyres, and suspension components. However, without additional data on driving conditions or maintenance history, the exact cause of wear remains ambiguous.
