2012 BMW 1 Series 1.6L Petrol · EY62 CLV

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2023-08-09 at 106,153 miles, recorded a pass with no defects. However, the history reveals recurring failures in 2021 and 2022, both at similar mileages (64,465–83,259 miles), though no specific defects were logged for these tests. While the latest test indicates stability, the absence of detailed failure notes limits insight into resolved issues. The lack of significant defects in the 2023 test suggests the car is currently roadworthy, but the prior failures imply potential maintenance gaps that require verification. The vehicle’s mileage of 106,153 miles at 14 years old aligns with an average annual usage of 7,582 miles, typical for its age. The MOT records span from 2021 to 2023, with tests spaced 12 months apart, but the most recent assessment predates the current date by over three years. This gap raises questions about ongoing maintenance, as no subsequent tests confirm the car’s condition post-2023. The consistent mileage progression suggests regular use, though no data indicates periods of inactivity or excessive wear. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system, particularly bushes and coil springs, given the car’s age and mileage. Brake components, including calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny, as recurring MOTs often highlight minor brake-related advisories. Structural corrosion, especially in underbody areas, should also be checked, as it can develop over time without visible MOT failures. While the records show no critical issues, the lack of detailed failure descriptions means a physical inspection is essential to confirm the car’s mechanical integrity.
