BMW 1202011 · 2.0L PETROL

The vehicle currently holds a positive roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. Following the most recent test in November 2025 at 132,668 miles, the car passed with no defects recorded. This indicates that the mechanical and electrical issues identified in previous years have been successfully addressed and that the vehicle has since maintained a high standard of compliance across multiple consecutive annual inspections. The recorded mileage of 132,668 miles is consistent with typical usage for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual travel, with intervals of roughly 3,500 to 5,000 miles between tests from 2022 through 2025. This regular pattern suggests the car has not sat stationary for extended periods, which is generally beneficial for maintaining the integrity of seals, gaskets and preventing the degradation of rubber components. While the recent history is clean, the failure in November 2023 at 124,407 miles highlighted specific electrical vulnerabilities, including a supplementary restraint system warning lamp and an offside dipped beamlamp failure. Although these were rectified to pass the subsequent test three days later, a buyer should verify the functionality of the SRS system and lighting alignment to ensure no intermittent faults remain. Given the age and mileage, a physical inspection should also focus on the condition of suspension bushes and the presence of corrosion on the chassis, as these are common points of wear for this model that do not always trigger an MOT failure until they become critical.
