Our Verdict

This is a reasonably sound buy for a 2012 BMW 118 diesel with low mileage for its age, but budget for fresh tyres. The single MOT failure was a easily rectified tyre bulge, and the car has since passed every test.

When viewing this car, ask to see the full service history — there is no aggregate model data to lean on, so documented maintenance is your best evidence of care. Confirm the 2023 tyre failure was properly resolved with a new rear tyre and that the 2024 front tyre advisory has been dealt with, as perished side walls are a safety risk. Given the 2.0-litre diesel engine, check for smooth cold starts and no warning lights, and negotiate around £100-£150 for a full set of tyres if the fronts are still showing age-related cracking.
