2010 BMW 118 2.0L Diesel · H11 KBJ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-04-10 at 113,230 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating stable roadworthiness. A prior test on 2026-04-09 at the same mileage recorded a fail, though no defects were listed, suggesting a possible administrative error or unrecorded issue. Previous tests from 2023 to 2025 showed consistent passes with no defects, confirming a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The absence of critical failures in the latest test implies the vehicle has been well-maintained, though the abrupt fail/pass on consecutive days requires further scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 113,230 miles over 16 years equates to an average of 7,077 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. MOT tests were conducted approximately 12 months apart, with no significant gaps or rapid mileage spikes. The 2023-03-15 test at 108,021 miles and subsequent 2024-04-03 test at 110,704 miles show gradual accumulation, while the 2025-04-19 test at 111,582 miles and 2026-04-10 test at 113,230 miles confirm consistent usage. This pattern suggests regular operation without prolonged inactivity, reducing risks of component degradation from standing. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these are common wear points in older vehicles. The braking system, including calipers and discs, warrants close examination for binding or uneven wear, even though no defects were recorded. The exhaust system’s integrity, particularly at joints and under the vehicle, should be checked for corrosion. While the MOT history shows no critical issues, the recent fail/pass anomaly highlights the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical soundness.
