2013 BMW 1 Series 2.0L Diesel · AB11 YEA

The 2013 BMW 1 Series presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 7 May 2025 at 103,106 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recent record. The most recent test recorded no defects, and the prior failure on 6 March 2025 at 102,894 miles also listed no defects, indicating the failure arose from administrative or non-mechanical grounds rather than a fault with the vehicle. Across the five-year span shown, every test either passed or failed without recorded defects, so no worsening mechanical pattern is evident. Mileage sits at 103,106 on the latest test, against a 13-year life that averages roughly 7,931 miles per year and matches typical use for the age. The record shows 94,316 miles on 1 March 2022, 97,600 on 6 March 2023, a jump to 108,780 on 7 March 2024, then a drop to 102,894 by 6 March 2025. That reversal suggests either a clerical error at the 2024 test or a change of owner with partial mileage evidence, and the buyer should treat the odometer history as unverified beyond the two most recent entries. No advisories or defects appear in any supplied test, so the DVSA data gives no direct flag for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions. The absence of recorded wear items means previous keepers likely addressed consumables between tests or the car saw light annual use. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity, coil springs, and binding calipers, as a clean MOT does not certify component life. Given the sparse but defect-free history, the vehicle shows no signal of skipped basic upkeep such as repeated tyre or wiper failures. The recent pass confirms legal roadworthiness as of May 2025, some fourteen months before today's date, so a fresh test should be sought before purchase to confirm current condition.
