) - mine's be through 4 MOTs now in my ownership with the only advisories being low, but legal, tyre tread.IT FAILED! 
Only on a tyre though plus an advisory on another tyre. Fortunately I knew about the advisory one so already have a tyre sat in my garage waiting to go on but the fail tyre was a bit of a shock because its on the front and tread is fine all across it until the very inside edge which is knackered... Mechanic is gonna investigate the dodgy wear when he does the service next week
managed to find a nearly new tyre for £75 vs £160 for brand new (yes I'm still on runflats and actually like them) and luckily I don't need the car over the weekend as me and the Mrs are babysitting our niece so the 2 seater is gonna be redundant til Monday when the new tyre arrives...

Had mine done last Friday, passed no problems only advisory was a nail in the NSR tyre which was not near sidewall or tread so they were not concerned by it. My local BMW dealer in Leamington Spa even did it for free because it took a little longer than usual and I had already said to skip the wash and interior clean because I was in a hurry. So pretty happy all round.
