BMW 1182017 · 1.5L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 13 August 2025 at 81,231 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean tests, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation shows a significant increase in the last two years. Between 7 March 2022 and 8 August 2023, the car covered 4,037 miles. However, between 8 August 2023 and 15 August 2024, the mileage jumped from 43,278 to 61,925, an increase of 18,647 miles in a single year. The most recent interval saw a further rise to 81,231 miles. This shift suggests a change in usage patterns, moving from light local use to more intensive long-distance driving. The MOT history is unusually clean for a vehicle of this age, with no recorded advisories for brake disc wear, tyre tread, or suspension bushes across several years. The failure on 8 August 2024 was rectified within a week, though the record does not specify the fault. A buyer should verify the service history to ensure that oil changes and filter replacements kept pace with the recent surge in annual mileage. Given the lack of reported corrosion or structural issues, the primary focus for a physical inspection should be on wear-and-tear consumables. Check the condition of the brake pads and tyres, as the rapid mileage increase since 2023 likely accelerated the wear on these components. Confirm that the engine oil and coolant levels are correct to ensure the increased workload has not led to neglected fluid maintenance.
