2007 BMW 118 2.0L Petrol · DA07 SDZ

The 2007 BMW 118 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 12 June 2024 at 191,350 miles returning a clean pass with no defects recorded. Across the four available annual tests from June 2021 to June 2024, the vehicle passed every time with no advisories or failures logged. This consistent clean sheet suggests the previous keeper maintained the car to a standard that satisfied DVSA minimum requirements each year. The mileage pattern tracks as broadly typical for a 19-year-old vehicle. The record shows 169,821 miles at the June 2021 test, rising to 171,409 by June 2022, then 180,190 by June 2023, and 191,350 by June 2024. Annual accumulation ran from roughly 1,600 miles in the first interval to about 11,000 in the latest, averaging close to the 10,000 miles per year norm. No standing gaps or sudden jumps appear in the data, and the sparse four-entry history carries no flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or emissions concerns at any point. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection before purchase despite the unblemished record. The absence of advisories across four tests does not rule out worn coil springs, degraded suspension bushes, or early structural rust hidden from the test bay. At 191,350 miles the original drivetrain and running gear are heavily aged, so a technician should scrutinise brake calipers for binding, check exhaust integrity, and measure tyre tread and wiper condition as consumable items the MOT may not have captured as faults. Given the last test sat over two years before today's date of 8 July 2026, the vehicle has likely covered further unknown mileage since. The new owner must arrange a fresh MOT and a pre-purchase mechanical check to confirm the car still meets roadworthiness standards beyond the stale June 2024 pass.
