2012 BMW 1 Series 2.0L Diesel · LC62 HPK

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 2026-06-18, confirming that the 2026-05-11 test passed at 119,534 miles with no serious defects. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, with the most recent test at this mileage showing no critical issues. However, the 2024-05-23 test failed at 99,581 miles due to exposed ply or cords in the offside rear tyre, indicating a recurring structural defect that has not been resolved. This suggests that while the car has maintained its overall mechanical integrity through the 2026-05-11 test, the 2024-05-23 failure represents a gap in the inspection history that must be addressed before the vehicle can be legally sold. The mileage pattern reflects a significant accumulation of approximately 8,538 miles per year, which is consistent with an 11-year-old vehicle. While the 2023-06-16 test at 96,656 miles failed, the 2024-05-23 test at 99,581 miles passed, indicating that the vehicle has likely undergone a period of reduced use or lower mileage accumulation since the 2023-06-16 failure. This gap in data suggests that the owner may have skipped routine inspections or that the vehicle was driven less frequently than usual during the 2023-06-16 period, potentially leading to premature wear on critical components like the rear tyres. Given the failure of the 2024-05-23 test, the buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to verify the condition of the offside rear tyre and assess the integrity of any exposed ply or cords. The 2026-05-11 test passed with no serious defects, but the 2024-05-23 failure indicates that the vehicle has not been fully inspected for this specific component since then. A buyer must verify the condition of the offside rear tyre and inspect any exposed ply or cords to ensure that the structural integrity remains within safe limits, as the vehicle has not been tested for this component since the 2024-05-23 date.
