2021 BMW 318I SPORT AUTO2.0L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on 24 February 2026 at 52,014 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. While the previous two annual tests returned with clean sheets, the failure just three days prior to the latest test at 51,923 miles indicates that the previous owner neglected essential consumable replacements until they reached a critical point. The mileage pattern is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,400 miles per year. The record shows a steady accumulation of roughly 9,800 miles between March 2024 and February 2025, and another 9,700 miles between February 2025 and February 2026. This regular usage suggests the car has been driven consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which explains the mechanical wear observed on the brakes and tyres during the most recent inspection. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and tyre condition based on the February 2026 failure data. The tester flagged rear brake pads reaching the wear indicator and worn discs, necessitating a full overhaul of the rear braking assembly to ensure safety. The offside rear tyre showed exposed cords, which is a serious safety defect and indicates structural damage to the rubber. Furthermore, the edge wear noted on both front tyres suggests a potential wheel alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be verified to prevent premature degradation of new tyres.
