2021 BMW 118 1.5L Petrol · GD21 WPU

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status following its most recent test on June 10, 2026 at 24,263 miles. While the car passed the test, the maintenance trend shows a slight decline in consumable condition compared to the previous year. The tester flagged an advisory regarding the front outer tyre being worn close to the legal limit with uneven wear on the edge, alongside a general advisory for cracking or perishing across all four tyres. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,850 miles per year. Data from the 2024 test at 13,656 miles and the June 2025 test at 20,198 miles indicates a steady usage profile without any sudden bursts of high mileage. However, the low mileage combined with the recent discovery of perishing tyre rubber suggests the vehicle may have sat for extended periods, which often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components through oxidation rather than mechanical wear from driving. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the tyres specifically, as the perishing and cracking noted in June 2026 indicate the rubber is reaching its age limit despite the low mileage. The uneven wear on the front outer tyre also warrants a check of the alignment and an inspection for worn suspension bushes which could be causing premature scrubbing. Beyond these consumable issues, the clean records from 2024 and 2025 suggest that no underlying structural corrosion or major mechanical failures are evident in the documented history.
