2018 BMW 1 Series 3.0L Petrol · LW55 CAD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent MOT history indicates a decline in preventative maintenance. While the car passed its test on October 2, 2025 at 48,818 miles, it failed just one day prior due to high carbon monoxide emissions and significant tyre wear. The resolution of the emissions failure suggests the mechanical issue was addressed, but the presence of multiple tyre faults indicates that the owner neglected basic consumable upkeep until the inspection deadline. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a low-use profile, averaging approximately 6,100 miles per year over the eight-year period. Between the 2022 test at 27,592 miles and the 2024 test at 43,729 miles, the vehicle covered 16,137 miles, showing steady usage. However, the gap of only 5,089 miles between October 2024 and October 2025 reflects low annual mileage which can sometimes lead to aged rubber components and fluid degradation despite the low odometer. A buyer must inspect the vehicle's alignment and suspension geometry, as the 2025 failure flagged both front and rear tyres as being worn on the edges. This pattern often points to misaligned tracking, worn suspension bushes, or faulty ball joints that require immediate attention. The buyer should also verify the engine's health following the carbon monoxide failure to ensure the fix was not merely a temporary patch for a deeper fuel system or oxygen sensor issue that could recur in the future.
