2015 BMW 220 2.0L Petrol · KC15 DFV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean recent history. The most recent test on 12 January 2026 at 56,227 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a successful retest in December 2024 after a minor failure regarding a non-functional horn. The absence of advisories in the last two years suggests the vehicle is currently maintained to a high standard regarding its primary mechanical and safety components. The mileage accumulation is notably low for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,112 miles per year. The data shows a consistent, gradual increase in usage, moving from 8,796 miles in January 2020 to 56,227 miles in early 2026. While low mileage often implies less wear on drivetrain and suspension components, the intervals between tests show the car is driven regularly enough to prevent the issues typically associated with long periods of stagnation. A buyer should note the tyre wear advisory from the 4 January 2022 test at 22,639 miles, where both front tyres were flagged as being close to the legal limit or wearing unevenly. This indicates a historical tendency toward uneven tyre wear, which can stem from alignment issues or suspension bush degradation. Although no such issues appear in the recent 2024 or 2026 records, a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry and tyre tread patterns is advisable to ensure any previous alignment problems have been resolved. The recurring horn failure in January and December 2024 was a minor electrical fault that was rectified immediately. Aside from this, the MOT history is remarkably clean, with no mentions of brake binding, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion. The lack of advisories for brake pads, discs, or suspension components across the recent years suggests a well-maintained vehicle, but a manual check of the braking system and underside for any signs of age-related corrosion remains standard practice.
