2020 BMW 118 1.5L Petrol · AV20 AEX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean MOT pass in in February 2026 at 31,860 miles. No defects were identified during this latest inspection, indicating that the mechanical and structural components currently meet minimum safety standards. The lack of recurring failures across previous tests suggests that the owner has maintained a consistent level of upkeep over the last three years. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per annum. Between February 2023 at 17,707 miles and February 2026 at 31,860 miles, the car covered 14,153 miles. This low-frequency usage often results in less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it can occasionally lead to degradation of rubber-based parts if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. The only noted concern occurred during the February 2025 test at 25,261 miles, where the nearside front tyre flagged for perishing near the legal limit. This is a common symptom of low-mileage vehicles where tyres dry out before the tread wears away. A buyer should inspect all sidewalls for similar cracking and ensure the age of the rubber matches the low mileage profile. Since the record shows no structural corrosion or brake issues, the physical inspection should focus on checking for brake caliper seizing and the condition of suspension bushes, which can become brittle over time regardless of mileage driven.
