2012 BMW 1 Series 2.0L Diesel · LD62 PVE

The 2025‑10‑13 MOT at 146,647 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming the vehicle’s current roadworthiness and demonstrating a stable maintenance trend throughout its recent history. Mileage has risen steadily from 114,835 miles in September 2021 to 146,647 miles by October 2025, an increase of roughly 31,800 miles over four years, or about 7,950 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 14‑year‑old car and shows no anomalous gaps in the record. A buyer should therefore focus on inspecting suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, checking brake discs and calipers for binding or excessive wear, examining the exhaust system for corrosion, and verifying structural integrity for any hidden rust, as these components commonly reveal issues even when MOT tests record no defects. Overall, the consistent pass rate and steady mileage suggest the car has been well cared for, but a thorough in‑person inspection of wear items and structural condition remains essential before final purchase.
