BMW 1182022 · 1.5L Petrol

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-11-15 at 46,089 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but a prior failure on 2025-11-04 at 45,980 miles also showed no defects. This suggests the car’s roadworthiness remains stable, though the short interval between the failure and subsequent pass raises questions about the nature of the initial non-compliance. No structural or mechanical issues were flagged in either test, indicating the car has not exhibited critical faults in the past year. The mileage progression shows a 10,173-mile increase between the 2025-02-26 test (35,807 miles) and the 2025-11-04 failure (45,980 miles), followed by a minimal 109-mile jump to the 2025-11-15 pass. This irregularity in mileage accumulation, combined with the lack of defects, implies the car has been driven consistently but without significant wear. The 46,089-mile total aligns with typical annual usage for its age, though the sparse MOT history offers limited insight into long-term maintenance patterns. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, for signs of wear given the car’s age and mileage. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as these are common issues in used BMWs. Corrosion in underbody areas and exhaust emissions compliance are also worth verifying, as these can develop gradually without immediate MOT failures. The absence of recorded defects does not eliminate these risks, as some issues may not trigger immediate failure.
