2011 BMW 120 2.0L Petrol · MJ61 LBZ

The 2026-04-30 MOT at 66,968 miles passed with no defects, indicating the vehicle currently meets roadworthiness standards; however, the preceding 2026-04-23 test showed an exhaust lambda fault, and earlier records reveal recurring brake and tyre deficiencies, suggesting a mixed maintenance trend that has recently stabilized. The 66,968 miles represent roughly 4,465 miles per year for a 15‑year‑old 2011 model, which is low and may indicate periods of limited use. Notably, mileage jumped from 43,381 miles in October 2022 to 52,028 miles by October 2023 (8,647 miles in one year), and then rose to 66,968 miles by April 2026, showing a recent acceleration in usage that could accelerate wear on consumables. Repeated failures on the off‑side front and rear tyres (worn close to legal limit) and persistent brake issues—including binding rear service brakes, excessively lagging rear brakes, and worn, pitted discs—point to potential neglect of suspension components such as bushes and coil springs, as well as possible corrosion on structural elements. In person, the buyer should examine the condition of the rear brake calipers and discs for binding or scoring, verify tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity on all wheels, inspect the exhaust lambda sensor and catalytic converter for proper operation, and check the suspension bushes, coil springs, and chassis for rust or structural damage, especially on the off‑side rear area.
