2018 BMW 218 1.5L Petrol · LS18 LVP

The vehicle passed its latest MOT on 18 May 2026 at 34,577 miles with a single advisory for nearside front windscreen damage not affecting visibility. Maintenance trend is stable; previous tests show no recurring critical defects after the February 2023 side repeater failure was resolved. Mileage accumulation has slowed significantly. Between February 2023 and February 2024, the car covered 4,808 miles. However, the next 14 months to April 2025 added only 2,191 miles, and the subsequent 13 months to May 2026 added just 1,146 miles. This low annual usage pattern suggests possible long periods of inactivity, which can accelerate rubber component degradation despite low mileage. A buyer should inspect the windscreen damage for progression, verify the nearside front side repeater remains secure, and thoroughly examine the underbody for corrosion—especially around the under tray covers fitted in 2025. Check for dry-rotted tyres, hardened suspension bushes, and fluid leaks, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer age-related deterioration in components not regularly stressed.
