2020 BMW 118 1.5L Petrol · GV20 AAE

The August 2025 MOT at 38,737 miles passed without any defects, confirming that the 2020 BMW 118 remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable trend with no worsening faults. The mileage trajectory reveals a clear acceleration: after a modest increase of 15 miles between July and August 2023, the vehicle covered roughly 9,000 miles in the following year to reach 25,170 miles in August 2024, and then another 13,600 miles in the subsequent year to the current reading. This pattern suggests the car has been driven more intensively in the past two years, though the overall annual average of about 6,500 miles remains within the typical range for a six‑year‑old model. A buyer should therefore focus on components that commonly show wear despite a clean MOT: inspect the rear suspension bushes and coil springs for play or cracking, examine the brake discs and calipers for binding or excessive wear, check the exhaust system for rust or leaks, and verify structural integrity of the chassis and subframes for corrosion. Particular attention to tyre tread depth and wiper blade condition is also advisable, as these consumables can mask underlying mechanical issues if neglected.
