Our Verdict
A solid recommendation for those seeking a well-documented example of the 118. The clean MOT record over the last four years suggests a consistent standard of roadworthiness.
When inspecting this specific 1.5L petrol BMW, focus on verifying the service history to supplement the MOT data, as MOTs do not record mechanical maintenance. Check for any signs of oil leaks around the engine bay, a common area of interest for small-capacity turbocharged engines.
Negotiate based on the mileage; at 70,320 miles, this vehicle has been driven more than the typical annual average for this model group. Ensure you check the tyre tread depth and brake pad wear, as these are standard consumables that may be due for replacement given the current mileage.
As a 1.5L petrol model, this BMW 118 is likely to sit in a moderate insurance group and benefit from relatively efficient fuel economy for a premium hatchback. Tax bands for this engine size are generally predictable, though you should verify the specific rate for the AF67YRJ registration.
Maintenance costs for BMW vehicles tend to be higher than non-premium brands. Expect typical service costs to include premium parts and fluids. An estimated annual running cost for this vehicle is roughly £1,400-£1,700, depending on your annual mileage and insurance profile.
Based on the aggregate data for this model, pay close attention to the engine's electrical components, specifically checking if any engine warning lights or mil (malfunction indicator lamp) issues are present, as this is a top failure reason for this model.
Given the 2025 MOT showed no defects, the vehicle's immediate safety components appear to be in order. However, you should still manually inspect the suspension bushings and brake discs, which are common wear items on cars approaching the 70,000-mile mark.
This 2017 black BMW 118 has covered 70,320 miles since its first registration in October 2017. The MOT history shows four consecutive passes without any recorded defects, which is notable given the model's aggregate failure rate. While the mileage is slightly higher than the model average of 7,408 per year, the recent testing history is consistently clean.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 83.5% MOT pass rate, with engine malfunction indicator lamps being a frequent cause of failure.
