2008 BMW 118 2.0L Diesel · CY58 AAK

The 2008 BMW 118 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 May 2024 at 126,570 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the preceding pass on 8 March 2023 at 119,384 miles also showed a clean sheet. The single failure logged on 8 March 2023 at the same mileage and with no defects noted points to an administrative or presentation issue at the test centre rather than a mechanical fault, as the vehicle was granted a pass on the same day. Mileage progression sits close to typical use for an eighteen year old car. The record shows 112,101 miles at the 1 April 2022 test, rising to 119,384 miles by 8 March 2023 and 126,570 miles by 23 May 2024. That equates to roughly 7,000 miles per year across the captured period, with no abrupt accumulation or long dormancy visible in the supplied entries. The four year history is sparse but entirely clean on consumables and structure, suggesting the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and 126,570 mile accumulation. The MOT data flags no corrosion, exhaust emissions breaches, or binding calipers, yet eighteen years of service can conceal fatigue not caught in a pass with no defects. Verify underside structural integrity and check for any undocumented wear on tyres or wiper blades before purchase.
