2018 BMW 320 2.0L Petrol · CE68 DXV

The vehicle currently holds a valid roadworthiness status following a pass on September 11, 2025, recorded at 24,041 miles. While the latest result is clean, the maintenance trend shows a concerning decline in basic consumable upkeep. The failure just one day prior to the successful test due to a nearside front tyre with exposed cords and an offside front tyre worn to the legal limit indicates that the previous owner neglected critical safety-related wear items until an MOT failure forced immediate action. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. Between September 2022 and September 2023, the car covered 3,277 miles, showing consistent low-use patterns. However, the jump of 4,132 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests suggests a slight increase in usage. Such low annual mileage often leads to secondary issues of rubber-based components, such as brake hoses and suspension bushings, which can perish or crack over time despite the low mechanical wear. A buyer must physically inspect the suspension geometry and alignment, as the recurring advisories for uneven tyre wear on the outer edges in 2024 and 2025 suggest potential tracking issues or worn control arms. The brake discs should also be checked for corrosion or pitting, as low-mileage vehicles frequently suffer from surface rust while stationary. Given the recent failure for exposed cords, verify that the remaining tyres have sufficient tread depth and have been replaced with high-quality units rather than budget alternatives alternatives.
