2014 BMW 218 2.0L Diesel · LR14 XMV

The most recent MOT was on 2023-08-11 at 101,253 miles — just under three years ago. It passed with no defects recorded. The MOT history is exceptionally clean: four passes and one failed test, all with “no defects recorded” noted. The single failure in March 2021 appears to be an administrative or procedural issue — not a mechanical one — since no defects were listed and the vehicle passed the same day. The trend is stable and reassuring. There’s no evidence of accumulating faults, recurring failures, or worsening condition over time. Each pass covers a typical 12-month interval, and mileage increments between tests are consistent (roughly 5,000–9,000 miles per year), aligning closely with the average annual figure of 8,438 miles. At 101,253 miles and 12 years old, this is a broadly typical usage pattern — neither unusually low nor high. It suggests regular, moderate use rather than long-term storage or intensive commercial operation. That said, the absence of low-mileage red flags (e.g., seized components, dry rubber) isn’t confirmed by the MOT data alone — those issues wouldn’t appear unless they caused a failure.
