2018 BMW M43.0L Petrol

This vehicle is in a stable state of roadworthiness with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 20 January 2026 at 24,968 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets DVSA standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for an eight year old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,121 miles per year. There is a significant data anomaly in the records between January 2025 and January 2026. The vehicle recorded 27,880 miles on 27 January 2025, but the subsequent test on 20 January 2026 shows a lower figure of 24,968 miles. This discrepancy suggests either a clerical error during the 2025 test or a potential odometer issue that requires immediate verification. Aside from the mileage inconsistency, the mechanical history is remarkably sparse. The only failure occurred on 24 January 2025 due to a non-functional offside side repeater, which is a minor electrical fault. The December 2022 test at 16,462 miles noted streaky windscreen wiper blades as advisories, which are standard consumable wear items. There are no mentions of corrosion, suspension bush degradation, or brake disc wear across the entire history. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that suffer from low usage and long periods of standing. Check for tyre flat-spotting, perished rubber seals, and brake caliper binding, as these are common in low-mileage examples. Given the mileage discrepancy between the 2025 and 2026 tests, a full audit of the service history and a physical check of the odometer are essential to confirm the vehicle's true distance travelled.
