Our Verdict
Recommended. This vehicle presents a ver
When purchasing this 2012 model, focus on the service history to complement the MOT data. While the MOT records show no defects, they do not confirm if scheduled oil changes or filter replacements have been performed. Ensure there is a documented trail of maintenance for the 1.6L engine to avoid long-term wear issues.
Negotiate based on the age of the vehicle and the upcoming requirement for consumables. Check the date of the last major service and whether the brake pads and discs have been replaced recently, as these are wear-and-tear items that would not necessarily trigger an MOT failure until they reach a critical limit.
The 1598cc petrol engine offers a balance of performance and efficiency, though fuel costs will be higher than diesel equivalents. Insurance groups for the 1 Series are generally moderate, but this varies by driver profile. Annual road tax will be based on the 2012 CO2 emissions bracket for this engine size.
Typical maintenance for a BMW of this age includes periodic coolant flushes and spark plug replacements. Including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing, the estimated annual running cost is likely to fall between £1,200 and £1,500.
Although the MOT history for LL62NRN is clean, aggregate data for the 1 Series shows that tyres and headlamps are the most common failure points. Carefully inspect the current tyre tread depths and check the headlamp lenses for clouding or oxidation that could lead to future failures.
Given the vehicle's age, inspect the underbody and suspension components for signs of corrosion or perishing rubber bushings. While no defects were recorded in 2025, 2024, 2023, or 2022, a physical inspection of the chassis is advised for any vehicle over a decade old.
This 2012 white BMW 1 Series 1.6L petrol has a consistent record, passing its last four MOT tests without any recorded defects. With a current mileage of 91,853 miles, the vehicle's usage is closely aligned with the average annual mileage for this model. It represents a stable example of the 1 Series range based on available roadworthiness data.
Across 88,622 analysed vehicles, this model has an average MOT pass rate of 84.2%.
