2018 BMW 118 1.5L Petrol · AM08 AHM

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 30 September 2025 at 58,191 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets DVSA standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is typical for a 2018 model, averaging roughly 7,274 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between September 2022 and September 2023, where the odometer rose from 35,875 to 45,295 miles. Since then, the annual mileage has stabilised, with only 1,394 miles added between the September 2024 and September 2025 tests. The record shows a failure on 16 September 2024 at 56,757 miles, though the data provided lists no specific defects for that failure. The vehicle passed seven days later at 56,797 miles. This brief gap indicates a rapid rectification of a specific fault, likely a minor consumable or electrical issue, rather than a deep-seated mechanical failure. A physical inspection should focus on standard wear items that MOT tests sometimes overlook or that may have developed since the last test. Check the condition of the brake discs and pads for pitting or thinning, and inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing. Given the age of the vehicle, a check for underside corrosion and the depth of the tyre treads is advised to ensure the current state matches the clean MOT history.
