Pre-MOT Inspection Checklist for BMW I7 XDRIVE60 Owners
These checks follow this BMW I7 XDRIVE60's own most-recorded failure strings, starting with what a tester is most likely to flag on a BMW I7 XDRIVE60.
-
the steering — “attachment bracket and mounting attachment bracket/mounting missing”
With the wheels straight, rock the steering wheel gently with the engine off — more than about an inch of free play before the wheels move is worth investigating. Split rack gaiters are cheap to replace and commonly recorded.
-
the suspension joints — “ball joint dust cover severely deteriorated”
With the car parked on level ground, rock the top of each front wheel in and out while someone watches the suspension arm. Clunks, or rubber boots split and greasy, are what testers record here.
Derived from the DVSA failure strings testers recorded for the BMW I7 XDRIVE60. A check that finds nothing means the item is likely fine, not that the test is guaranteed.
