2020 BMW 118 1.5L Petrol · HV70 LLP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 22 May 2026 at 50,350 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable following a period of reactive maintenance in late 2024. While the 2024 test revealed multiple consumable failures, the subsequent 2025 and 2026 tests recorded no defects, indicating that the owner addressed the identified mechanical issues. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual use for a modern vehicle, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per year. There is a steady progression of mileage between the 26,097 miles recorded in September 2023 and the 50,350 miles noted in May 2026. The jump of nearly 8,000 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests suggests the car has been used regularly rather than being left stationary for long periods, which generally helps prevent the degradation of rubber-based components. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the suspension geometry and alignment, as the 2024 record flagged both nearside and offside rear tyres for uneven inner-edge wear. This specific wear pattern often points to incorrect tracking or worn suspension bushes. Although the front and rear brake pads were noted as thin in 2024, a physical check should verify the current thickness of the pads and inspect the brake discs for scoring or thinning following the likely replacement. The 2026 test also noted that undertrays and covers prevented all testable items from being visible. This creates a requirement for a physical inspection of the underbody to check for structural corrosion, fluid leaks, or damaged components that the tester could not access due to the plastic shielding. Beyond these specific points, the history suggests a vehicle that has been maintained to a functional standard once faults were identified.
