2017 BMW 1182.0L Diesel

The vehicle presents a current roadworthy status with a clean pass recorded on 4 November 2025 at 36,906 miles. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every annual test from 23 November 2022 through to the latest examination returning a pass and no defects logged. The only anomaly is a failed entry on 4 November 2025 at the same mileage, where the tester recorded no defects; this suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, immediately followed by a full pass on the same day. Annual mileage sits at roughly 4,100 miles against a nine-year-old car, a low figure for the age. The odometer moved from 27,479 miles at the November 2022 test to 30,744 by November 2023, then 34,197 in November 2024, and 36,906 by November 2025. The progression is steady at around 3,000 to 3,700 miles per year with no gaps or sudden accumulation. Such light use over nine years implies the car spent extended periods stationary, a pattern that often masks aged rubber components and fluid degradation not captured by a pass-with-no-defects MOT. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, as low-mileage cars left standing commonly develop perished seals and sticking handbrake mechanisms absent from the clean record. Tyres and wiper blades may show sidewall cracking from age rather than wear. The DVSA data shows no advisories for corrosion or exhaust emissions, yet structural integrity around sills and subframes warrants a ramp check given the vehicle's low use and likely damp storage periods.
