2015 BMW 118 1.6L Petrol · GV15 OUB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT pass in December 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative replacement. The most recent failure at 31,596 miles due to a structural bulge in the nearside front tyre was rectified immediately, resulting in a pass just eleven miles later. This suggests the owner addresses critical safety defects once they are flagged by the tester. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,873 miles per year. There is a significant two-year gap between the December 2022 test at 23,724 miles and the January 2024 test at 26,574 miles. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, long periods of inactivity often lead to degradation of rubber-based components and fluid chemistry. The consistent low mileage suggests the car was likely used for short trips or sat stationary between use. A buyer should inspect the braking system closely, as the December 2024 test at 28,446 miles flagged both front and rear pads as wearing thin. Given the low annual mileage, these components may have reached their service limit due to age and corrosion rather than friction. The history also shows a pattern of sidewall damage to tyres, with separate records of cuts, nails, and structural bulges. A physical inspection of the suspension bushes is necessary to check for cracking or per common on low-mileage vehicles that sit for extended periods.
