2012 BMW 1 Series 2.0L Diesel · LX62 RXA

The 2012 BMW 1 Series is presently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 14 October 2025 at 114,788 miles with no defects recorded. The alternating pass and fail entries between 2023 and 2025 show no persistent mechanical failures; the latest test confirms a stable maintenance record. Mileage has risen from 91,174 miles in a September 2023 test to 114,788 miles in the October 2025 test, a gain of 23,614 miles over roughly two years, or about 11,800 miles per year, which exceeds the average annual mileage for a 14‑year‑old vehicle. The jump from 97,189 miles in October 2024 to 114,788 miles in October 2025 represents a 17,599‑mile increase in a single year, indicating a period of more intensive use. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, test the rear brake calipers for binding, inspect the brake discs for scoring, and look for any structural rust or corrosion on the chassis and subframes. Checking the exhaust emissions and tyre condition will also reveal whether the vehicle’s recent high mileage has translated into consumable wear or underlying mechanical stress.
