2018 BMW 225XE M Sport Premium Auto 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · AD57 ADA

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT on 23 January 2026 at 32,994 miles. While the most recent test recorded no defects, the immediate history shows a worsening trend regarding reactive maintenance. A failure occurred just one day prior at 32,929 miles due to an offside rear tyre worn to the limit and a nearside rear tyre with exposed cords. This indicates that the previous owner only addressed tyre issues upon failing a test rather than performing preventative replacements. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,124 miles per year. There is a significant spike in usage between January 2025 and January 2026, where the car covered 15,582 miles in a single year. Prior to this period, the vehicle saw very limited use, covering only 8,602 miles between early 2022 and early 2025. Such intermittent use can lead to degradation of rubber components and fluid seals despite the low odometer reading. A buyer should inspect the suspension and wheel alignment in person, as the record shows recurring uneven tyre wear across both front and rear axles in multiple years. The 2025 test flagged both front tyres as worn on the edge, while the 2026 failure suggests alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. Given the long periods of stationary time between tests, a thorough check for brake corrosion on the discs and seized calipers is essential, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from surface rust when not driven regularly.
