2021 BMW 118 1.5L Petrol · LP21 UBA

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on 13 June 2025 at 26,497 miles resulted in a pass despite flagging an offside front tyre worn to the legal limit with uneven wear and a nail in the offside rear tyre. While these issues did not cause a failure, they suggest the previous owner only addresses tyre faults once they reach an advisory threshold. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per year. A gap of 13,117 miles recorded between the June 2024 test at 13,380 miles and the June 2025 test shows a period of higher but moderate usage. This low mileage generally reduces the strain on the drivetrain and suspension components, but the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to flat-spotting tyres or corrosion on brake discs if the car has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should physically inspect the wheel alignment, as the uneven wear noted on the offside front tyre in the 2025 test often points to incorrect geometry or worn suspension bushes. The recurring cuts to the sidewalls noted in the 2024 record also indicate the vehicle may have been driven on curbs or subjected to rough conditions. Given the low mileage, ensure the brake calipers are free of pitting or seizing, which is common on BMWs that are not used frequently enough to clear away surface rust.
