2017 BMW 120 2.0L Petrol · YK17 ABA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, having passed its most recent MOT on 31 July 2025 at 50,971 miles. This latest test flagged a cut in the nearside front outer tyre and a restricted inspection of the adult seatbelt due to a child seat. These are minor issues that do not indicate systemic mechanical failure. The mileage is low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,663 miles per year. There was a significant jump in usage between August 2022 and August 2023, where the odometer rose from 27,492 to 41,356 miles. This period of higher activity coincides with the only significant wear recorded in the history, as the August 2023 test flagged both rear tyres as worn close to the legal limit. The record shows a pattern of neglecting tyre maintenance until the point of an MOT inspection. The repeat of tyre-related advisories in 2023 and 2025 suggests a reactive rather than proactive approach to consumables. A buyer should physically inspect the current tread depth and sidewall integrity of all four tyres to ensure they have been replaced or repaired since the last test. Beyond the tyres, the MOT history is remarkably clean with no mentions of suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust leaks. The lack of structural advisories over five years is positive. However, because the car has seen periods of very low usage, a buyer should check for signs of perished rubber seals or battery degradation associated with long periods of standing.
