Our Verdict
This BMW 118 presents a relatively low-r
When inspecting this specific 1.5L petrol model, pay close attention to the tyres. The 2023 and 2024 MOT records both flagged tyres worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges, so ensure the current set has ample tread and even wear. You should also ask for evidence that the front lower suspension arm bush issue noted in November 2024 has been addressed.
Given that child seats have previously obscured the inspection of the nearside rear adult belt, we strongly recommend checking the rear seatbelt tension and integrity yourself. Finally, verify that the brake pads and discs have been serviced recently, as both front and rear pads were noted as wearing thin during the 2023 inspection.
As a 1.5L petrol vehicle, this BMW 118 is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group and offers reasonable fuel economy for a premium hatchback. Maintenance costs for BMW models tend to be higher than non-premium brands, particularly for specialised components like suspension bushings or electronic sensors.
Annual running costs are estimated to be mid-range. You should budget for regular tyre replacements given the previous MOT advisories and standard servicing intervals for a petrol engine of this type. Estimated annual costs cover fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance.
Focus your inspection on the suspension and braking systems. The MOT history for this vehicle specifically mentions front lower suspension arm play (2024) and thinning brake pads (2023). Check for any knocking sounds from the front end during a test drive.
Additionally, check the condition of the tyres. The history shows a trend of edge wear on the 205/50R17 tyres, which could indicate alignment issues. Lastly, as noted in multiple MOT tests, ensure the nearside rear adult seatbelt is fully functional and was not obstructed by child seat installations during previous inspections.
This 2017 black BMW 118 has covered 31,550 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average of 7,448 miles per year. The MOT history shows a pattern of wear-and-tear items, specifically regarding tyres and brake pads, rather than major mechanical failures. While the most recent test was a pass, previous records indicate recurring advisories regarding tyre tread and suspension components.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 83.3% MOT pass rate, with common failure points being headlamps, shock absorbers, and engine MIL issues.
