2020 BMW 118 1.5L Petrol · BA02 JAR

The vehicle currently holds a clean MOT certificate issued on 06 June 2025 at 18,593 miles, indicating a stable and resolved maintenance trend. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories in the most recent inspection suggests the previous owner addressed the significant tyre-related failures noted in late 2024. This transition from a failed state to a clean pass reflects a positive approach to rectifying essential safety components before the expiration of the previous certificate. Accumulating just 18,593 miles over six years, the BMW shows an average annual usage of approximately 3,100 miles. This low-mileage profile is consistent across the recorded history, with steady increments between October 2023 and June 2025. While the vehicle has not sat idle for extended periods, the limited distance covered means mechanical components have experienced minimal operational stress. Prospective buyers should note that such low usage can sometimes lead to premature ageing of rubber seals or seized brake calipers if the car remained stationary for long intervals, though the current test results do not highlight these issues. The October 2024 failure for tyre damage and tread depth indicates that the vehicle previously suffered from neglected maintenance regarding its rolling stock. Because the car passed its most recent inspection without advisories, you should verify the current condition of the tyres to ensure high-quality replacements were fitted rather than budget alternatives. Inspect the inner and outer sidewalls for any signs of perishing or cracking, as the previous failure suggests the car may have been stored in conditions that accelerated rubber degradation. Beyond the tyres, focus your physical inspection on the brake discs for surface corrosion, which is a common occurrence on low-mileage vehicles that do not see frequent, heavy braking cycles.
