2012 BMW 318 2.0L Petrol · KFZ 5604

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in consumable upkeep. The most recent test on December 11, 2025 at 84,277 miles passed with advisories for both rear tyres being worn to the legal limit and exhibiting uneven edge wear. This follows a similar issue noted in December 2023, suggesting that the current owner is delaying tyre replacement until they reach the failure threshold. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. Between December 2021 (58,011 miles) and December 2024 (78,338 miles), the car covered roughly 20,000 miles, indicating steady and low-intensity usage. The absence of defects in the 2022 and 2024 tests indicates that the primary mechanical and structural components, such as the chassis and braking system, have remained in a stable condition during these periods of lower operation. A buyer must inspect the wheel geometry and suspension components due to the recurring inner edge wear flagged in the 2023 and 2025 records. This pattern often points to misaligned camber or worn control arm bushes, which will continue to prematurely degrade new tyres. While the MOT history shows no structural corrosion or brake failures, the low mileage relative to the age necessitates a physical check for perished rubber components and fluid leaks that may occur from vehicle standing rather than distance traveled.
