2021 BMW 118 1.5L Petrol · SK21 AFH

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT in April 2026 with 30,023 miles. The inspection history shows consistent compliance with safety standards with no mechanical or structural failures recorded over the last three years. While the tester identified recurring minor tyre-related issues, the overall mechanical integrity of the vehicle appears to be maintained to a level that avoids immediate operational risk. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year over its five-year life. The progression from the 2024 test at 17,396 miles to the 2026 test at 30,023 miles shows a steady accumulation of roughly 6,300 miles per annual interval. This low mileage generally suggests reduced wear on high-stress drivetrain components and suspension bushings, though it increases the likelihood of rubber components degrading if the car sits for extended periods. A buyer should pay close attention to the tyre condition during a physical inspection. The April 2024 advisory regarding cracked outer edges on the front tyres suggests potential flat-spotting or age-related dry rot, followed by sidewall cuts noted in both 2025 and 2026. These recurring faults indicate physical damage from kerbing or the use of tyres nearing the end of their life despite sufficient tread depth. Verify the sidewalls for structural cracking and ensure that the low mileage has not masked underlying degradation of the rubber compounds.
