BMW 4202018 · 2.0L PETROL

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT in February 2026 at 42,571 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows an improvement following a period of reactive repairs in 2024. While the 2024 test revealed several items requiring attention, the subsequent pass without advisories indicates that the current owner addressed the flagged faults and is maintaining the vehicle effectively. At 42,571 miles over eight years, the car reflects low-mileage usage, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per year. There is a significant gap in data between the March 2022 test at 14,834 miles and the March 2024 test at 33,111 miles, where the vehicle covered nearly 18,000 miles in just two years. This burst of activity correlates with the accelerated wear of consumables noted during the 2024 de-scheduled inspection, whereas the earlier years show a pattern of consistent, low annual mileage. A buyer should focus inspection on the braking system and tyres, as the history shows a pattern of thin front brake pads and recurring tyre issues. The March 2024 failure highlighted thin pads on both front sides, and the May 2025 advisory noted that both rear tyres were near the legal limit with edge wear. While these appear to have been rectified, low annual mileage can sometimes lead to flat spotting or uneven tyre wear if the car sat for long periods. Verify the current condition of the wipers and windscreen, as the wipers previously caused a failure in 2024.
