2021 BMW 118 1.5L Petrol · AO71 PUF

The vehicle is currently road‑worthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 21 March 2025 at 27,392 miles. The tester recorded a minor sidewall damage on the off‑side front tyre and noted that the front brake pads were wearing thin, but both items were classified as advisories rather than failures. No new defects have appeared since the 2024 test, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Mileage has risen from 16,473 miles on 28 March 2024 to 27,392 miles on 21 March 2025, an increase of 10,919 miles in just under twelve months – roughly 1,000 miles per month. This rate exceeds the average of about 5,500 miles per year for a five‑year‑old BMW and suggests a period of more intensive use during that interval. Apart from the jump in mileage, the record contains no further entries, so the data set is limited but otherwise clean. A prospective buyer should give the off‑side front tyre a close visual and tactile inspection for progressing sidewall damage or embedded debris that could compromise structural integrity. The front brake pads must be measured for remaining thickness; thin pads may soon require replacement, and uneven wear could hint at caliper binding or warped discs. Because the mileage surge aligns with the period of higher use, checking the suspension – especially the front bushes and coil springs – for any creaking or sagging is prudent. Finally, a thorough look under the chassis for corrosion or rust, particularly around the sub‑frame, will confirm that no hidden structural issues have developed.
