2010 BMW 118 2.0L Diesel · AF60 LGO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent test in June 2022 at 91,222 miles which passed with no recorded defects. This indicates that the mechanical issues identified in previous years were addressed effectively. The maintenance trend shows an improvement following the 2020 test, where suspension and tyre issues were flagged, leading to a clean sheet in the subsequent inspection despite the increasing age of the BMW. At 16 years old, the mileage of 91,222 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 5,700 miles per year. The data reveals a notable gap in usage between November 2017 and May 2020, where the car covered only 13,768 miles over two years. While low mileage generally reduces wear on drivetrain components, long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid acidity. The lack of an MOT record since 2022 suggests the vehicle may have been stationary or missed its current test cycle recently. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry. The 2020 test highlighted a worn nearside front suspension arm bush, and the 2019 failure noted an insecurely attached arm. Although these were likely repaired, rubber bushings on this model are prone to cracking due to age regardless of low mileage. Check for uneven tyre wear across the axle, as the 2020 record specifically flagged edge wear on both rear tyres, which could indicate an alignment issue or worn shock absorbers.
