2021 BMW 118 1.5L Petrol · LR71 VSF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on August 13, 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable but reactive rather than proactive, as the car failed on that same date due to a significant cut in the nearside rear tyre reaching the cords. Once this immediate defect was rectified, the vehicle passed with no further defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical and structural components met the required safety standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,845 miles per annum. There is a gap of 10,102 miles between the September 2024 test at 19,125 miles and the August 2025 test. While this low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, infrequent use can sometimes lead to rubber-based component degradation or brake corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry. The September 2024 test at 19,125 miles flagged both front tyres as being close to the legal limit and worn on the edge, which often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. Given the low mileage, uneven tyre patterns are more likely caused by tracking faults rather than high mileage wear. Additionally, inspect the brake discs for pitting or rust, as low-use vehicles frequently suffer from surface oxidation on the rotors when not driven regularly.
