2014 BMW 120 2.0L Diesel · LL14 KTX

The most recent MOT, conducted on 2 December 2022 at 105,202 miles, passed, but the record is now over three and a half years old relative to today's date of 17 June 2026. The maintenance trend over the documented history is broadly stable, characterised by minor wear items rather than escalating mechanical failures. The tester flagged worn and pitted front brake discs in both the December 2021 and December 2022 tests at 95,351 and 105,202 miles respectively, indicating a persistent but non-critical deterioration of the front braking surfaces that was not deemed seriously weakened. A clean pass in November 2020 at 84,003 miles shows the car can achieve a defect-free result, but the recurring front brake disc advisory suggests this component requires ongoing monitoring. The mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for a 2014 vehicle. From 61,157 miles in May 2019 to 84,003 miles in November 2020 covers 22,846 miles in approximately 18 months, and the subsequent jump to 95,351 miles by December 2021 adds 11,348 miles in 13 months. The final recorded interval to 105,202 miles in December 2022 adds 9,851 miles over 12 months, showing a slight deceleration in use. Crucially, the mileage has remained static at 105,202 since the last test, meaning the vehicle has either been standing unused for an extended period or the mileage data has not been updated, which raises questions about its current mechanical condition after prolonged inactivity. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the front brake discs and pads in person, given the repeated advisories for pitting and wear across two consecutive tests. The offside front suspension arm bush wear and front steering rack inner joint play flagged in December 2021 at 95,351 miles were not mentioned in the subsequent 2022 test, which may indicate a repair, but the joints and bushes should still be physically checked for play. The supplementary restraint system fault from the May 2019 failure was resolved for the pass on the same date, yet a current diagnostic scan is advisable to confirm no airbag or seatbelt pretensioner faults have recurred. Given the vehicle has potentially stood since late 2022, a thorough underside inspection for corrosion, particularly on brake lines, subframes, and suspension mounting points, is essential. Tyre condition, fluid levels, and the operation of all lighting circuits should also be verified before any purchase.
