2018 BMW 118 1.5L Petrol · AJ68 LXM

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. In the November 2025 test at 70,482 miles the car passed with no defects recorded, though the DVSA log also shows a failed entry on the same date at identical mileage with no defects listed, indicating an administrative retest rather than a mechanical fault. Across the prior four years the car cleared every MOT with no advisories or failures, showing consistent compliance with roadworthiness standards. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,810 miles, typical for an eight-year-old 2018 BMW 118. The record shows 39,161 miles in December 2022, 49,342 miles in November 2023, 60,441 miles in November 2024, and 70,482 miles in November 2025. The yearly increments of about 10,000 miles are uniform, with no standing periods or sudden accumulation that would hint at neglected drivetrain or suspension stress. The clean test history gives little evidence of skipped basic upkeep. Given the absence of flagged items across all tests, no recurring wear patterns emerge in brakes, suspension bushes, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of brake disc thickness, tyre tread depth, and underbody for latent rust, as MOT passes with no advisories do not measure consumable life remaining. The same-day fail and pass in November 2025 warrant a check of the V5C and test certificate to confirm no suppressed defect.
