BMW 2252018 · 1.5L Hybrid Electric (Clean)

The BMW 225 shows a fully roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trajectory, confirmed by the latest DVSA test on 3 November 2025 at 24,896 miles, roughly eight months before the current date, where the examiner logged no defects or advisories. Every examination from 17 February 2022 through to that date returned a pass with a completely clean sheet. The absence of any recorded faults across five consecutive certificates indicates consistent compliance rather than deferred repairs. Mileage accumulation is strikingly low for a vehicle manufactured in 2018. The record moves from 19,308 miles at the February 2022 test to 22,501 miles on 22 February 2023, then 23,337 miles by 10 May 2023, 24,175 miles on 3 June 2024, and finally 24,896 miles in November 2025. That totals just 5,588 miles over three years and nine months, an average below 1,500 miles annually. Sparse yet clean entries imply the car spent long intervals idle, with only a brief 3,193-mile spell between the two early 2023 inspections. No recurring mechanical or structural issues appear in the history, but a buyer must still verify components that low usage can conceal. The tester flagged nothing on suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs, yet prolonged standing promotes perished rubber mounts and binding rear calipers. We advise a physical inspection of structural integrity around subframes and sills for corrosion, plus a check of tyre sidewalls for cracking and flat spots. Previous owners met every legal test on time, suggesting basic care, though minimal running may have masked intermittent faults that a static exam cannot reveal.
