Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for imme
When viewing this White BMW 118, pay close attention to the condition of the tyres. The MOT history shows repeated issues with tyres being worn close to the legal limit or having edge wear (noted in 2022, 2023, 2025, and 2026), which could indicate alignment issues or suspension wear.
Secondly, check the recent service history regarding the braking system. With advisories for worn brake discs in 2022, 2023, and 2024, you should verify if these components have been replaced recently or if they are nearing the end of their service life. Ensure you ask for proof of any recent work done to address the tyre and brake advisories noted in the 2025 and 2026 tests.
As a 1.5L petrol model, this BMW 118 is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group and tax band. Fuel economy for this engine size is typically efficient for daily commuting, though actual figures will depend on driving style and maintenance.
Maintenance costs for BMW models can be higher than average for non-premium brands. Given the recurring advisories for tyres and brake discs, you should budget for these consumable items in your annual maintenance calculations. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and typical maintenance, is approximately £1,400-£1,700.
Focus your inspection on the wheel alignment and suspension components. The repeated 'worn on edge' tyre advisories across multiple years (2022, 2023, 2025, 2026) are a strong indicator that the vehicle may suffer from camber or toe issues that need professional rectification.
Additionally, inspect the braking system thoroughly. The history shows a consistent trend of brake disc wear being flagged (2022, 2023, 2024). Check the thickness of the pads and the surface condition of the discs to ensure they aren't pitted or scored, as previously noted in the 2023 MOT.
This 2015 BMW 118 presents with 61,042 miles, which is above the model's average annual mileage of approximately 7,423. The MOT history indicates a pattern of wear-related advisories, specifically concerning tyres and brake discs. While it has passed every test since 2022, the frequency of these advisories suggests a need for closer inspection of the suspension and braking systems.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 83.4% MOT pass rate, with common failure points including headlamps, engine MIL, and brake pads.
