2021 BMW 118 1.5L Petrol · AN02 DOD

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status as evidenced by its most recent MOT pass in November 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the transition from a clean record in 2024 to an advisory status in the latest test indicates a shift in consumable wear. While the car passed all mechanical checks, the emergence of tyre issues suggests that components are now reaching the end of their operational life. At 36,521 miles over five years, the vehicle averages approximately 7,300 miles per annum. This usage profile aligns with typical UK patterns for a modern hatchback. The gap of 7,247 miles recorded between the November 2024 test and the November 2025 test shows consistent use rather than long periods of inactivity. This moderate mileage generally suggests that mechanical stress on the drivetrain and suspension components remains low compared to high-mileage examples. A prospective buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the nearside and offside rear tyres. The November 2025 test flagged both as worn close to the legal limit and on the edge, which often points to an alignment issue or worn shock absorbers. Given the lack of recorded defects in the 2024 test, the current state of uneven wear warrants a check of the rear geometry and the condition of the suspension bushings to ensure no premature failure is occurring.
