2018 BMW 220 2.0L Diesel · HT67 AEW

The 2026‑05‑19 MOT at 190,602 miles confirms the 2018 BMW 220 remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded. Earlier failures in late 2025 and early 2024 were limited to tyre and brake advisories, but the most recent pass indicates that previous owners have addressed those issues and maintained the vehicle steadily. The vehicle’s mileage pattern shows a high annual average of roughly 23,825 miles, far above typical usage for a car of its age. From 2022‑01‑24 (36,061 miles) to 2022‑11‑09 (45,986 miles) the odometer rose by 9,925 miles in ten months, and from 2023‑11‑14 (81,901 miles) to 2024‑12‑03 (126,459 miles) it increased by 44,558 miles in fourteen months, indicating rapid accumulation during those periods. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, inspect the brake discs and calipers for binding or scoring, and verify that the front service brake shows no fluctuation beyond the 1.2.1 (e) advisory noted in the 2025‑11‑15 test. Particular attention must be given to tyre condition, as the record documents a deep cut on the near‑side front tyre and tread depths below the 1.6 mm legal limit on both rear tyres. Given the recurring tyre cuts, worn pads and thin tread depths recorded in 2025 and 2024, the in‑person inspection must include a thorough assessment of tyre tread depth, sidewall integrity and the condition of the brake pads and discs, as well as a check for any structural rust or corrosion on the chassis and suspension components.
