BMW 1202008 · 2.0L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 17 June 2026 at 97,907 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a failure in June 2025. While the car previously struggled due to thin brake pads and a misaligned headlamp, the subsequent pass without any advisories indicates that these specific mechanical issues were addressed, bringing the vehicle to a clean state of compliance. At 18 years old, the recorded mileage of 97,907 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,400 miles. The data shows consistent usage patterns over the last three years, with roughly 7,000 miles covered between June 2023 and 2024, and another 7,500 miles in the final year leading to the latest test. This low mileage suggests less overall wear on the drivetrain and engine, though it can sometimes lead to rubber component hardening or brake components seizing due to lack of regular use. A buyer should still inspect the braking system closely, as the June 2025 failure highlighted both front and rear pads as being thin. Although the 2026 test showed no defects, the previous deterioration of the front brake hoses noted in 2023 suggests that the rubber lines are reaching the end of their service life and should be checked for cracking or bulging. Additionally, the 2023 advisory regarding uneven rear tyre wear indicates potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that should be verified in person to prevent premature tyre replacement.
