2008 BMW 118 2.0L Diesel · FH58 JFA

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-10-03 at 111,487 miles recorded a PASS with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. Previous tests from 2024-12-03 (107,169 miles) and 2023-10-24 (96,745 miles) also showed PASS outcomes, though a duplicate entry for the same date and mileage lists a FAIL with no defects. This inconsistency may reflect a data error, but the latest test confirms the vehicle meets current standards. No recurring mechanical issues are evident from the record, suggesting consistent maintenance. The mileage of 111,487 miles over 18 years equates to approximately 6,194 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for the model. MOT tests are spaced consistently every 12–14 months, with no significant gaps or rapid mileage surges. The 2023-10-24 tests at 96,745 miles—both PASS and FAIL entries—raise questions about data accuracy but do not indicate mechanical decline. The absence of defects in recent tests suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets legal requirements. A buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of the suspension system, including bushes and coil springs, which are prone to wear in older BMWs. The exhaust system and brake components, particularly calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny for corrosion or uneven wear. While no structural rust or emission issues were flagged in the MOT history, the car’s age necessitates a thorough underbody check. No advisories or critical faults are documented, but the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into potential hidden issues.
