2016 BMW 118 1.5L Petrol · FM66 EVX

The 2016 BMW 118 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 March 2026 at 44,241 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results since at least 2021. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the DVSA history, which indicates the vehicle has been presented for test in sound condition each time. Annual mileage sits well below typical expectations for a ten-year-old car. The record shows 28,739 miles on 25 October 2021, rising to 34,969 by 7 March 2023, then 39,547 on 29 March 2024, 42,976 on 14 March 2025, and 44,241 on 2 March 2026. That averages roughly 4,400 miles per year. A gap exists between the October 2021 and March 2023 entries where no test is logged, but the mileage progression is smooth and shows no sudden accumulation or omission of distance. The absence of recorded advisories means no recurring wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural corrosion has been flagged by testers. Low annual use combined with clean passes suggests the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current rather than deferring consumables. Standing periods implied by the low mileage can still allow tyre sidewall cracking or seized calipers unseen on a pass with no defects, so the buyer should confirm this in person. A pre-purchase inspection should still check underside structural integrity for hidden rust, verify brake caliper movement after the car's layups, and assess tyre condition given the light use. The MOT data alone shows no red flags, but the test only captures visible failings on the day.
