AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2025‑09‑10 MOT at 36,095 miles confirms the BMW 118 remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded and a pass outcome that mirrors the September 2024 test at 26,180 miles. This consistent result indicates a stable maintenance trend, showing no evidence of worsening or improving condition since the previous inspection. The recorded mileage of 36,095 miles after four years equates to roughly 9,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The interval between the September 2024 test (26,179 miles) and the September 2025 test (36,095 miles) represents an increase of about 9,900 miles in a single year, a pace slightly above the average but still within normal limits for a lightly used car. A buyer should therefore concentrate on verifying the integrity of the side repeater assembly and its wiring, as the earlier failure was remedied before the subsequent pass. Inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers is advisable, together with a thorough examination of brake discs, calipers and pads for any binding or excessive wear. Finally, a visual check for structural rust in the wheel arches, underbody and chassis, plus assessment of tyre tread depth and condition, will complete the due‑diligence review.
