2016 BMW 118 1.5L Petrol · HT16 YAY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a remarkably clean maintenance history. The most recent test on 15 July 2025 at 44,681 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following an initial failure on the same day that yielded no specific faults. This suggests a minor issue was rectified immediately before the retest, and the vehicle has maintained a high standard of compliance across the last four annual inspections. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a decade-old BMW, averaging approximately 4,468 miles per year. Between July 2022 at 21,096 miles and July 2024 at 34,013 miles, the car covered 13,017 miles over two years, with an additional 10,668 miles recorded in the year leading up to 2025. This low usage typically indicates less mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, though it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or brake caliper seizing due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components associated with low-mileage vehicles. While the MOT record shows no structural rust or mechanical failures, the lack of use justifies a check of the suspension bushes and perished tyres which wear out with age rather than tread. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use often fails to clear rust effectively, and ensure the fluid levels show no signs of contamination despite the vehicle's age.
