2017 BMW 118 1.5L Petrol · FD17 HMY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on June 3, 2026 at 63,579 miles. While the test initially recorded a failure on that same day due to incorrect headlamp aim on both the nearside and offside, the issue was rectified immediately. Beyond this minor adjustment failure, the maintenance trend remains remarkably stable. The car has passed seven consecutive annual tests without a single recorded defect or advisory notice, indicating a high level of consistent upkeep by the previous owners. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-mileage commuter vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between May 2021 and June 2026, the vehicle covered 18,056 miles, showing a steady and predictable usage rate. There is a minor gap between March 2020 and June 2020 where only three miles were recorded, but this does not impact the overall history of reliability. The low cumulative mileage suggests less strain on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking components compared to high-mileage examples of the same era. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the headlamp alignment to ensure the recent repair was properly executed and remains within legal tolerances. Because the MOT history shows no advisories for structural corrosion, oil leaks, or suspension wear, the mechanical integrity appears to be in good condition. However, given the low mileage relative to age, an inspector should check for age-related rubber perish or tyre sidew cracking, as these can occur even when a vehicle is not driven frequently.
