2022 BMW 330E M Sport Auto 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · YF72 KVW

The 2022 BMW 330e M Sport Auto currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 22 November 2025 at 35,159 miles, with zero defects recorded. That clean pass followed a failure the previous day at 35,147 miles, where the nearside rear tyre was flagged for structural separation and a bulge under item 5.2.3 (d) (ii). The immediate retest with no further advisories or failures indicates the tyre defect was rectified promptly. The maintenance trend is therefore stable, with no evidence of recurring or unresolved faults beyond a single tyre-related failure that was addressed within 24 hours. The vehicle has covered 35,159 miles over approximately four years, averaging roughly 8,790 miles annually. This sits within the typical range for a car of this age and suggests regular, consistent use rather than prolonged standing or unusually heavy mileage accumulation. The MOT record is sparse, with only two entries both occurring in November 2025, so there is limited long-term trend data to draw from. No notable gaps or sudden jumps in mileage are apparent from the available records. The sole failure item is a nearside rear tyre exhibiting structural damage in the form of a tear and bulge, both attributed to internal separation. This type of defect typically results from impact damage, such as striking a pothole or kerb, rather than a systemic manufacturing fault. A buyer should inspect all four tyres carefully for uneven wear, sidewall damage, and correct inflation pressures, paying particular attention to the nearside rear. Given the vehicle's plug-in hybrid powertrain and M Sport suspension, a thorough check of front and rear suspension bushes, coil springs, and damper condition is also advisable, as these components can suffer from impact-related stress that MOT testing does not always capture between test intervals. Beyond the tyre fault, the absence of any other defects, advisories, or emissions-related failures in the record is encouraging. Still, a pre-purchase inspection should include a road test to verify smooth regenerative braking operation, correct hybrid system engagement, and no unusual drivetrain vibrations. The brake discs and pads, along with the exhaust system and structural underside, should be examined for corrosion or premature wear given the vehicle's age and mileage. The MOT record alone presents a broadly positive picture, but the single failure underscores the value of a hands-on mechanical inspection before purchase.
