2017 BMW 118 1.5L Petrol · CJ17 AAZ

This vehicle demonstrates a stable and clean roadworthiness trend. The most recent MOT on 8 September 2025 at 104,751 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting the car has been maintained to a standard that meets DVSA requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the vehicle. Between the September 2022 test at 71,064 miles and the September 2025 test at 104,751 miles, the car covered 33,737 miles over three years. This averages roughly 11,245 miles per year, indicating regular use rather than prolonged periods of standing. A brief failure on 4 September 2023 at 84,863 miles was resolved within three days, which is typical for minor corrective work. The absence of advisories across multiple years is uncommon for a BMW of this age and mileage. Usually, testers flag wear on suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or tyre tread depth as the vehicle crosses the 100,000-mile threshold. The lack of recorded defects suggests a proactive approach to maintenance or a very light duty cycle. A buyer should still physically inspect the brake pads and discs for wear, as these are consumables that may not trigger an MOT failure until they reach a critical limit. Checking the condition of the tyre sidewalls and the service history for oil changes is recommended to ensure the drivetrain has been cared for beyond the basic legal requirements of the MOT.
