2014 BMW 1202.0L Diesel

The BMW 120 stands roadworthy per the latest DVSA test conducted on 9 August 2025 at 96,371 miles, approximately eleven months prior to the current date, where the examiner issued a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across all available entries. The car passed on 7 August 2024 at 91,263 miles and on 29 February 2024 at 91,163 miles, both with clean sheets. The record shows two failures on 6 August 2025 and 27 February 2024 at identical mileages to the subsequent passes; the tester listed no defects, so those rejects did not arise from logged mechanical conditions. Registered in 2014, the vehicle has covered approximately 96,371 miles over twelve years, averaging 8,031 miles per year and reflecting typical use for its age. The odometer climbed just 100 miles between the 29 February 2024 examination at 91,163 miles and the 7 August 2024 examination at 91,263 miles, signalling a near-static period. From August 2024 to August 2025 the clock gained 5,108 miles, a standard annual increment. This sparse five-entry history lacks any advisories, implying the previous keeper kept consumables such as tyres and wiper blades in check, though the repeated fail-with-no-defect pattern points to test-prep oversights rather than worn suspension or braking hardware. A buyer should still arrange a physical inspection of components the MOT may omit. The tester flagged no corrosion, worn suspension bushes, fractured coil springs, binding calipers, pitted brake discs or elevated exhaust emissions, but a 2014 chassis at 96k miles demands hands-on scrutiny of subframe structural integrity and steering joints. Examine the V5C and prior failure notices to confirm why the two rejects carried no defect lines, as off-record rectification of lighting or plate faults may mask underlying neglect.
