2018 BMW 116 1.5L Diesel · KY18 FXP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in the January 2026 MOT test at 59,209 miles. This latest inspection recorded no defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a failure was noted in early February 2025 at 52,338 miles, the subsequent pass the very next day suggests a minor or superficial issue that was immediately rectified rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical low-intensity usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per annum. Between February 2023 (33,366 miles) and February 2024 (45,120 miles), the car covered over 11,000 miles, showing a period of higher activity. However, the usage moderated to roughly 7,000 miles in the following year leading up to the most recent test. This low overall mileage generally implies less wear on high-stress components like the turbocharger and engine mount bushings. Given the lack of recurring mechanical advisories in the history, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on common BMW wear items that do not always trigger an MOT failure. Check the front control arm bushes for rubber cracking or tearing, as these often perish with age regardless of low mileage. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which can occur if the vehicle sits for long periods between services. The absence of structural rust warnings in the records suggests the chassis remains sound for this stage.
