2017 BMW 1202.0L Petrol

The 2017 BMW 120 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 March 2026 at 89,846 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,983 miles, typical for a nine-year-old vehicle. The record shows 78,872 miles at the 28 March 2024 test, rising to 82,001 miles by 26 March 2025 and 89,846 miles by March 2026, a steady ~3,000 to 7,800 mile yearly spread with no abrupt accumulation. A single anomaly appears on 30 January 2023 where the car failed then passed on the same day at 71,930 miles, though the DVSA entry lists no defects for either outcome, suggesting an administrative or presentational error rather than a mechanical fault. Given the absence of any advisories across four passed tests and the unexplained January 2023 fail-pass pair, the buyer should still verify structural integrity and suspension bushes in person. The clean record offers no warning on brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion, but a same-day failure with no noted defect warrants a check of the VOSA failure sheet if retrievable. Prior owners appear to have kept basic upkeep current, with no recurring tyre, exhaust emission, or binding caliper issues flagged. A pre-purchase inspection should nonetheless confirm underbody condition and confirm the January 2023 anomaly was not a suppressed serious defect.
