Our Verdict

This is a cautiously recommended purchase for a low-mileage 2016 BMW 218 with a clean MOT pass record. Budget for immediate tyre and brake maintenance, as the most recent test flagged several worn components that are close to needing replacement.

When viewing this vehicle, ask for full service history to confirm the timing chain and oil changes have been kept up on the 1499cc three-cylinder petrol unit, as BMW's smaller engines benefit from regular maintenance. Use the 2026 MOT advisories as negotiation leverage — the near-side and off-side front tyres were worn on the edge and the front and rear brake discs were scored, so quote for a full set of tyres and a brake refresh.
