2020 BMW 118 1.5L Petrol · AF70 VHR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to basic consumable upkeep. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 45,766 miles passed, it initially failed due to the nearside front tyre being below the legal 1.6mm limit and the offside front tyre showing significant edge wear. The presence of an active TPMS light during this same failure suggests that the owner ignored dashboard warnings until a formal test forced action, rather than performing routine preventative checks. The mileage pattern is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. The record shows steady progression, moving from 35,968 miles in January 2024 to 41,918 miles in February 2025, and reaching 45,766 miles by the latest test in January 2026. This low annual mileage suggests light use, which generally preserves wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it can sometimes lead to corrosion if the car sits stationary. A buyer should inspect the front suspension and alignment in person. The recurring edge wear noted on the offside front tyre in 2025 and the subsequent failure in 2026 indicates a likely geometry issue or worn suspension bushes that have not been adequately addressed. You must also verify that the TPMS system has been properly reset or repaired, as a persistent light can mask a faulty sensor or lead to uneven tyre pressure monitoring. No structural corrosion or brake defects were flagged across the history, suggesting the primary concerns remain on front-end consumables and alignment.
