2012 BMW 118 2.0L Diesel · JS10 SHE

The vehicle is currently in a stable roadworthy condition based on the most recent MOT pass on 18 November 2024 at 108,035 miles. The history shows a consistent pattern of passing tests with no recorded defects or advisories across the last three years. While the car failed its tests on 12 November 2024 and 30 October 2023, the immediate passes following those failures suggest the owner addressed the necessary repairs promptly to maintain compliance. The mileage is typical for a 2012 model, averaging roughly 7,717 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between October 2022 and November 2023, where the odometer rose from 89,390 to 102,234 miles. This period of higher activity accounts for a significant portion of the total wear. Since then, the mileage has remained relatively low, adding only about 6,000 miles over the following year. The absence of advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions is unusual for a fourteen year old vehicle. This clean record implies a high standard of preventative maintenance or a very light duty cycle. However, the lack of detailed data on consumables means a buyer must still manually verify the remaining thickness of the brake pads and the depth of the tyre treads. A physical inspection should focus on the chassis and underbody for structural rust, as MOT records can sometimes overlook early stage corrosion on older BMWs. Checking for oil leaks around the engine bay and inspecting the condition of the coil springs is advised to ensure the vehicle's mechanical health matches the clean digital record.
