2017 BMW 218 2.0L Diesel · AF67 EUC

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its last five MOT examinations without failure. The most recent test conducted in August 2025 at 20,661 miles indicates a passing result despite recurring advisories regarding front tyre condition. While the mechanical trend appears stable in terms of passing tests, the persistent mention of tyre wear issues suggests a lack of proactive maintenance regarding consumables over the last two testing cycles. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,300 miles per year. Data shows a significant drop in usage between September 2021 and August 2022, where the car covered only 377 miles in nearly a year. However, usage has increased recently, with 10,633 miles recorded between the August 2022 and August 2025 tests. Low annual mileage often reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine but can lead to degradation of rubber components and corrosion on brake discs due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and alignment, as the 2024 and 2025 tests both flagged the nearside and offside front tyres as being worn close to the legal limit and on the edge. This pattern often points to incorrect wheel geometry or worn suspension bushes rather than simple mileage wear. Given the low mileage, check the brake rotors for pitting or surface corrosion, as low-use vehicles frequently suffer from rust that is not cleared by regular braking. The offside rear tyre cut noted in 2023 should also be verified to ensure no structural damage has developed in the sidewall since that inspection.
