2015 BMW 118 2.0L Diesel · P88 RBU

The vehicle currently passes its MOT as of 8 October 2025 at 76,251 miles, indicating an improving maintenance trend after a series of failures in early 2024. The most recent test recorded only a minor windscreen damage advisory, with no safety‑critical defects, suggesting that the earlier tyre and wiper issues have been remedied. Mileage averages roughly 6,900 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 2015 model. Between 8 March 2022 (57,700 miles) and 22 April 2024 (74,241 miles) the car accumulated 16,500 miles, reflecting a slightly higher annual run‑rate of about 8,200 miles, but the subsequent increase to 76,251 miles by October 2025 returns to a more moderate pace. No large gaps in the record appear, and the mileage progression is consistent with regular ownership. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of all four tyres, as the history shows repeated cracking and split fronts, as well as rear tread depths flirting with the legal minimum. The off‑side rear tyre was flagged below 1.6 mm in April 2024, and the near‑side rear tyre previously required replacement due to a nail puncture. Inspect the windscreen for any damage that could compromise structural integrity and confirm that both wipers clear the glass effectively, given the recurring wiper‑performance advisories. Check the near‑side front position lamp for operation, as it was noted as faulty in early 2024. While no structural or suspension faults have been recorded, a thorough visual and tactile examination of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs is advisable to rule out hidden wear that may not have surfaced in the MOT. Confirm that brake pads retain sufficient thickness and that there is no excessive rust on chassis members. Addressing these items will ensure the vehicle remains roadworthy beyond the next test interval.
