2016 BMW 118 1.5L Petrol · GS16 BAS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in April 2025 with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears highly stable, as the car has maintained clean records for the last three consecutive inspections. While there was a failure in April 2023, the immediate rectification and subsequent years of passes indicate that any identified issues were addressed promptly to maintain operational safety standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a decade-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage of over 8,000 miles between April 2023 and April 2024, followed by a more moderate climb of 4,000 miles in the final year. This suggests the car is being used regularly rather than sitting idle for long periods, which is generally beneficial for seals and mechanical components to prevent seizing or fluid degradation. Since the MOT history shows no recurring mechanical failures, a buyer should still perform a thorough physical inspection of components that age with time irrespective of mileage. Specific attention should be paid to the suspension bushings, control arms, and shock enough, which often show signs of cracking or wear over ten years. Additionally, checking the brake discs for corrosion and the pads for thickness is advisable, as low annual mileage can sometimes lead to surface rust if the braking system is not used frequently.
