2021 BMW 118 1.5L Petrol · EA71 AFN

The vehicle presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 12 January 2026 at 29,583 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests on 14 January 2025 at 24,347 miles and 25 October 2024 at 24,107 miles also passed cleanly, showing no advisories or mechanical faults across the available record. The history reflects consistent statutory compliance with no worsening condition flagged by any examiner. Mileage sits low for a five-year-old 2021 BMW 118, totalling 29,583 miles or roughly 5,900 miles per annum. The record shows 24,107 miles on 25 October 2024 and 24,347 miles on 14 January 2025, a mere 240-mile increment over eleven weeks that suggests limited regular use or a period of standing. From January 2025 to January 2026 the car covered 5,236 miles, restoring a more typical annual rate. Sparse clean tests mean we cannot chart consumable wear, but the low overall figure implies lighter loading on suspension bushes, brake discs, and drivetrain components than a high-mileage equivalent. A failed test on 25 October 2024 at 24,107 miles carries no recorded defect, indicating an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault requiring repair; the same-day pass confirms the vehicle met standards without intervention. No recurring corrosion, binding calipers, exhaust emission breaches, or structural integrity concerns appear in the chronology. The previous keeper maintained statutory testing discipline with no skipped years. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of coil springs, suspension arms, and underbody for hidden corrosion given the 2024 standing period, and verify brake caliper freedom and tyre sidewall condition despite the clean MOT. The absence of advisories does not exempt the car from age-related perishables such as wiper blades or fluid degradation. Confirm service history independently, as MOT passes alone do not evidence routine maintenance.
