Our Verdict
A solid choice for a modern petrol hatch
When inspecting this specific white 1.5L petrol BMW, check the service history to see if the higher-than-average mileage has been matched by regular oil changes. Because the most recent MOT recorded front tyres at 3mm, use this as a negotiation point to see if the seller will provide a new pair or reduce the price accordingly.
Ask for evidence of recent brake inspections, as the 118 model is a relatively recent registration and should still be in its prime. While the MOT history shows no defects, always verify that the service intervals have been strictly adhered to, especially given the vehicle has covered significantly more miles than the aggregate average for this model.
As a 1.5L Euro 6 petrol engine, this vehicle is likely to sit in a moderate insurance group and benefit from relatively efficient fuel economy for a premium hatchback. Tax and insurance costs will vary depending on the driver's profile and specific policy chosen.
Maintenance costs for BMW models tend to be higher than non-premium brands, particularly for components like tyres and braking systems. Expect typical running costs to include regular servicing and the occasional replacement of wear-and-tear items like the tyres noted in the 2026 MOT.
Pay close attention to the tyres; the August 2026 MOT specifically flagged the front tyres at 3mm, which is approaching the legal limit and indicates they are nearing the end of their life. Inspect the tread depth and look for uneven wear which could indicate alignment issues.
Given the aggregate data for this model shows headlamps, shock absorbers, and engine MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) issues as top failure reasons, perform a thorough check of the headlight brightness and function. Test the suspension for any unusual knocks or stiffness, and ensure no warning lights appear on the dashboard during a test drive.
This 2020 BMW 118 presents with 48,914 miles on the clock, which is higher than the model average of 7,448 miles per year. However, the MOT history is clean, showing four consecutive passes since its first registration in September 2020. The most recent test in August 2026 noted front tyres at 3mm, suggesting they may require replacement soon.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 83.3% MOT pass rate, with common failure points including headlamps, shock absorbers, and engine warning lights.
