2020 BMW 118 1.5L Petrol · BE20 BEC

The most recent MOT on 13 May 2026 at 50,506 miles recorded a pass, but flagged near‑limit tread on the nearside front tyre, thin front brake pads and a front disc showing pitting. These are consumable‑wear items rather than structural faults, indicating the vehicle remains roadworthy while approaching routine component replacement. The pattern from 2023 to 2026 shows no escalation of serious defects; the only failure in the record was a seat‑belt webbing issue in May 2025, which was rectified before the next test, suggesting an overall stable maintenance trend. Mileage has risen from 23,782 miles in June 2023 to 50,506 miles in May 2026, averaging roughly 8,400 miles per year – typical for a six‑year‑old BMW 118. Increments of 6,270 miles between March 2024 and June 2023, 9,917 miles to May 2025, and 10,472 miles to May 2026 reflect consistent use without prolonged idle periods. No abrupt spikes or unexplained gaps appear, implying regular driving rather than intermittent storage. A prospective buyer should verify the tyre tread depth, especially on the nearside front, and confirm that the front brake pads and discs are within safe limits or scheduled for replacement. Inspect the seat‑belt webbing on both rear seats for any signs of fraying or cuts, ensuring the previous webbing repair was thorough. A visual check of the suspension bushes, coil springs and any rust‑prone panels will confirm that no hidden corrosion has developed. Finally, clear any lingering TPM warning light and confirm that all electronic systems are fault‑free before finalising the purchase.
