2016 BMW 218 1.5L Petrol · MA16 FKX

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a remarkably clean MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 13 June 2025 at 65,460 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This reflects a stable trend across the last five years, suggesting the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that avoids the mechanical or safety failures common in this model. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use profile, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. Between the June 2021 test at 40,525 miles and the June 2025 test at 65,460 miles, the car covered 24,935 miles, indicating steady and regular usage. There are no significant spikes in mileage accumulation that would suggest heavy motorway use, nor are there long gaps that might imply neglect. The low mileage relative to the age generally means the drivetrain and suspension components remain in better condition compared to high-mileage counterparts. While the digital record shows no history of structural corrosion or recurring brake binding issues, an in-person inspection should focus on age-related degradation rather than mileage-related wear. The buyer should check rubber components such as suspension bushes and tyre boots for cracking, as these can perish over a decade regardless of low mileage. Since the MOT has not flagged any advisories, the brake discs and pads should be in good condition, but a physical check for surface rust on the discs is wise if the car sat for long periods between tests.
