BMW 1162018 · 1.5L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its recent testing history. The most recent inspection conducted on 28 July 2025 at 45,957 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety and emissions standards. Following a single failure in July 2023, the vehicle has maintained two consecutive clean passes without advisories, suggesting that any previous mechanical or environmental issues were successfully rectified. The mileage pattern is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,745 miles per annum. Data shows a significant jump in usage between July 2022 at 11,117 miles and July 2023 at 22,661 miles, followed by more consistent accumulation of roughly 10,000 to 11,000 miles per year through to the 2025 test. This low-frequency usage typically reduces wear on drivetrain and engine components, though it can occasionally lead to degradation of rubber seals and brake components if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. While the MOT record is clean, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of components associated with low-mileage vehicles. Specifically, check for brake corrosion on the rotors and seized calipers, as infrequent use can lead to surface pitting. Given the age of the BMW, examine the suspension bushes and bushings for cracking or perishing which occurs over time regardless of mileage driven. The lack of structural advisories in the history suggests the chassis remains in good condition free from significant rust at this stage.
