2021 BMW 218I M Sport Auto 1.5L Petrol · LR71 VSP

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a clean pass on 12 September 2025 at 27,725 miles, with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend over the past two years is stable and broadly positive, though a failed test on 10 September 2025 at 27,707 miles — just two days before the pass — revealed structural damage to both front tyre sidewalls, with cuts deep enough to expose the ply or cords. This was clearly rectified immediately, but it remains the only defect on record and points to a specific, short-lived lapse rather than a persistent mechanical issue. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2021 vehicle, averaging approximately 5,545 miles per year. Between the September 2024 test at 22,953 miles and the September 2025 tests at 27,707 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 4,754 miles in twelve months, which is consistent with light, regular use. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer record, and the narrow spread between the failed and passed test mileages confirms the vehicle was in active use during that period rather than sitting idle. The only recurring concern flagged across the entire MOT history is tyre condition. Both front tyres failed simultaneously on sidewall integrity grounds, which typically results from kerb impacts or road debris rather than a systemic alignment or suspension fault. A prospective buyer should still inspect the sidewalls of all four tyres carefully for fresh cuts, bulges, or uneven wear, and check the wheel rims for kerb damage that could indicate careless use. Given the clean record on brakes, suspension, exhaust emissions, and structural integrity across all three tests, no other mechanical components have drawn the tester's attention. The vehicle appears to have been maintained to a reasonable standard, with the tyre failure representing an isolated incident rather than a pattern of neglect.
