2018 BMW 118 1.5L Petrol · FN18 EFG

The 2026-06-17 test at 29,306 miles indicates the vehicle passed the MOT in a clean state, but the MOT history reveals a significant deterioration in maintenance standards. The most recent test in March 2026 at 29,306 miles was a PASSED, yet the preceding two years (2025 and 2024) saw multiple passes with extensive wear on the front and rear tyres, specifically noting worn edges on all four tyres. This suggests that while the vehicle may have been maintained in good condition during the 2025-2024 period, the wear pattern has shifted toward aggressive use or poor upkeep, leading to the current 2026-06-17 test where the tyre wear is closer to legal limits. The mileage trend is critically poor for a 2018 BMW 118. The vehicle was approximately 8 years old when the last MOT was taken in February 2025, resulting in a cumulative mileage of 29,306 miles. This is exceptionally low for an 8-year-old car, indicating either heavy daily use or a prolonged absence of the owner. The data shows a rapid accumulation of miles over a two-year span, which could imply that the owner has been driving the car heavily or that the vehicle has been stored for extended periods without regular servicing. The consistent failure to maintain a gap between test dates and the cumulative mileage suggests that the vehicle's mechanical integrity may be compromised by wear on suspension, brake components, or drivetrain parts rather than by a lack of maintenance. In summary, the buyer must inspect the vehicle for structural risks such as corrosion in the engine bay, exhaust emissions, and brake disc wear, as well as a thorough check of the suspension bushings and alignment. Given the history of worn tyres and the rapid mileage accumulation, the vehicle is not roadworthy at the current date and requires immediate professional repair to prevent a breakdown.
