2019 BMW 3 Series 2.0L Diesel · YC69 SJV

The most recent MOT on 2026-03-25 confirmed the vehicle passed but noted multiple wear-related issues. Front and rear brake discs showed signs of wear, pitting, or scoring, though not severe enough to compromise structural integrity. The offside rear tyre was near the legal limit, and front inner brake pads were described as “wearing thin.” These findings suggest routine maintenance is required, but no critical safety risks were identified. A recurring pattern of tyre-related issues emerged, with the offside rear tyre consistently flagged for being close to the legal limit or worn on the edge in 2025 and 2026. This could indicate alignment problems, uneven tyre wear, or insufficient attention to tyre maintenance. The 2025 MOT also recorded a malfunction in the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), which, while not a safety-critical defect, highlights potential electrical or sensor issues. The trend in brake-related defects appears stable. Brake disc wear was noted in 2022 and 2026, but both instances described the condition as “not seriously weakened,” suggesting the components remain functional. The front inner brake pads being “wearing thin” in 2026 may indicate normal degradation but warrants inspection for uneven wear or underlying issues. No new or worsening brake defects were recorded in the most recent test.
