2014 BMW 118 2.0L Diesel · BA10 ANY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 14 May 2026 at 61,307 miles. While the current status is positive, the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather in recent years. After a long period of clean records between 2017 and 2023, the vehicle began failing tests in 2024 and 2025, indicating that the owner has more recently neglected basic consumable items until they reached a point of failure. At 12 years old, the recorded 61,307 miles represent low annual usage, averaging approximately 5,100 miles per year. This low mileage suggests the car has been used sparingly, which can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components and seals due to inactivity rather than mechanical wear. Between June 2023 (46,324 miles) and June 2025 (55,161 miles), the car covered nearly 9,000 miles in two years, showing a slight increase in usage that coincides with the appearance of tyre-related failures. A buyer must inspect the four tyres closely, as the history reveals a persistent pattern of neglecting them until they were illegal or dangerous. The 2025 failure was particularly severe, with all four tyres showing exposed cords or structural damage, which suggests a lack of proactive monitoring of safety equipment. The 2024 failure regarding insufficient washer fluid also points to a history of skipping routine fluid checks. While the record shows no structural corrosion or mechanical brake failures, the low mileage and age warrant a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and bushings, which can crack over time. The presence of under trays noted in every recent test suggests the underbody is protected from road debris, but the buyer should still check for any hidden rust on the chassis points or mounting brackets to ensure the low-mileage status has not masked age-related degradation.
