2020 BMW 118 1.5L Petrol · KM70 BUP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding basic consumable management. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 32,714 miles passed, the tester flagged all four tyres as worn close to the legal limit with uneven edge wear. This follows a pattern established in the 2024 test at 28,595 miles where the rear pair was also noted for marginal tread alongside an offside rear nail. The mileage profile is low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,452 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 8,808 miles between the September 2023 test at 19,787 miles and the 2024 test, followed by a more consistent interval of 4,119 miles in the following year. This low usage suggests the car has been used for short trips or kept in infrequently, which can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and brake components if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the suspension geometry and tyre alignment, as the recurring uneven edge wear noted in the last two tests indicates potential issues with tracking, control arm bushes, or steering components. Given the low mileage, the brake discs should be checked for surface corrosion or seized calipers which often affect low-use BMWs. No structural or serious mechanical failures have appeared in the record, but the focus on marginal tyres suggests the previous owner only addressed maintenance when strictly prompted by the MOT tester.
