2009 BMW 118 2.0L Petrol · LA03 RAZ

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 30 September 2025 at 93,979 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to September 2022, indicating a vehicle that is currently maintained to a high standard of mechanical compliance. The mileage is notably low for a 2009 model, averaging roughly 5,528 miles per year. The distance covered between the September 2022 test at 91,140 miles and the September 2025 test at 93,979 miles is only 2,839 miles over three years. Such low annual usage suggests the car has spent significant periods stationary, which can lead to different wear patterns than those seen in high-mileage examples. The record shows a failure on 31 August 2022 at 91,120 miles, though the data lists no specific defects, and the car passed the following day. This suggests a minor administrative error or a trivial fix. Because the MOT history is devoid of recurring issues with suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions, there are no specific red flags in the documentation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low usage and age. Check for perished rubber seals, flat spots on tyres, and signs of brake caliper seizing or disc corrosion caused by inactivity. While the MOT record is clean, the 17-year age of the chassis means a manual check for structural corrosion on the sills and suspension mounting points remains necessary.
