2018 BMW 1 Series 1.5L Diesel · FN68 CLV

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness status as of the most recent test on 13 September 2025 at 56,196 miles, where the tester issued a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every annual examination from 2022 through 2025 returning a pass and no advisories raised on suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity. A failed entry logged on 13 September 2025 at the same mileage carries no recorded defects, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at a modest 7,024 miles against the car's eight-year life, consistent with typical private use. The record shows 40,215 miles on 15 August 2022, rising to 51,997 by 2 October 2023, then 54,449 on 30 September 2024, and 56,196 at the September 2025 test. The jump between mid-2022 and late 2023 of roughly 11,800 miles in fourteen months is the only period of above-average accumulation; otherwise the yearly increments stay near 2,500 miles. The sparse, defect-free ledger gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. With no advisories or recurring faults in the DVLA data, the buyer faces low technical risk from the documented history. The absence of flagged corrosion, worn coil springs, or binding calipers suggests prior owners kept basic upkeep current. A clean MOT trail of this kind usually reflects garaged storage and infrequent short journeys rather than hard driving. In person, the buyer should still confirm tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and underbody structural integrity, as these items escape MOT capture between tests. Given the low yearly use, check for perished rubber seals and flat-spotted tyres from long standing. A pre-purchase inspection remains sensible despite the unblemished record.
