2011 BMW 120 2.0L Diesel · DF61 YAX

The 2011 BMW 120 has a recent MOT history, with the last test passed on 2025-10-09 at 140,689 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, with no defects recorded in the last two tests, and only minor advisories in the previous tests. However, there are recurring issues with shock absorbers, which have shown light misting of oil in multiple tests, and a binding rear service brake, which was first noted in 2023 but has not been re-inspected since then. The recorded mileage of 140,689 miles, equivalent to approximately 9,379 miles per year, is consistent with typical usage for its age. However, there are some notable gaps in the mileage pattern, such as the period between 2015-01-12 and 2024-09-25, where the mileage increased by 77,517 miles in just over 9 years. This suggests that the vehicle may have experienced periods of inactivity or lighter use, followed by more rapid mileage accumulation. On the other hand, the mileage accumulation between 2011 and 2015 was relatively slow, with only 27,868 miles added in 5 years. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's suspension and brake systems in person, as the MOT records have flagged recurring issues with shock absorbers and a binding rear service brake. The records also indicate that the lower suspension arm pin or bush has worn in the past, which could be a potential concern if not properly addressed. Additionally, the vehicle's rear tyres have been worn close to the legal limit on multiple occasions, suggesting that the vehicle may not have been properly maintained in the past. A thorough inspection of the vehicle's underside, including the exhaust system and structural components, is also recommended to check for any signs of corrosion or damage.
