2015 BMW 218 2.0L Diesel · AF65 AAV

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-10-20 at 61,135 miles confirmed it met roadworthiness standards with no defects recorded. A consistent pattern of passing tests since 2021-10-16 (43,394 miles) indicates stable mechanical condition, with no recurring issues or escalating faults. The absence of advisories or failures across six consecutive annual inspections suggests the car has been maintained to a satisfactory level, though the low mileage for its age warrants scrutiny of storage conditions and potential component degradation. The mileage progression shows a steady annual increase of approximately 4,500–5,000 miles, aligning with the vehicle’s 11-year lifespan. Notable gaps between tests, such as the 12-month interval between 2024-10-08 (56,665 miles) and 2025-10-20, are within standard MOT intervals but highlight the need to verify if the car has been driven regularly or stored for extended periods. The low overall mileage may indicate infrequent use, which could affect components like tyres, batteries, and fluid systems, even if no defects were flagged in the MOT records. While the MOT history lacks specific mechanical issues, the buyer should physically inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, check brake discs for uneven wear, and assess corrosion in underbody areas. The absence of recorded faults does not eliminate risks associated with long-term storage, such as rubber component aging or electrical system faults. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on these areas to confirm the car’s condition aligns with its maintenance record.
