2020 BMW 118 1.5L Petrol · MM69 VWF

The 2020 BMW 118 passed its most recent MOT on 2025-05-24 at 63,882 miles, confirming it remains roadworthy, though with advisories indicating early-stage tyre wear. The maintenance trend appears stable overall, with four consecutive passes and no major defects recorded in the last two tests, but the recurring tyre advisories suggest the vehicle may have been driven on marginally worn or aged rubber, possibly reflecting light use punctuated by periods of inactivity. Mileage accumulation has been steady but not uniform: from 29,289 miles in early 2023 to 45,808 miles by January 2024 (a jump of 16,519 miles in under a year), then a longer gap before reaching 50,463 miles in May 2024, and finally 63,882 miles in May 2025. That final 13,419-mile increase over the last year is within reasonable annual usage, but the earlier surge implies heavier use during 2023, which could accelerate wear on suspension, brakes, and drivetrain components. There are no obvious gaps exceeding 12 months between tests, and the mileage aligns closely with the expected ~10,600 miles per year for a six-year-old car. A buyer should inspect the tyres closely—especially the rear outer and front outer pairs—given the repeated advisories on cuts and perishing, as these may indicate poor storage conditions or delayed replacement. The nearside front tyre issue in January 2024 also warrants checking for alignment or suspension wear that could cause uneven wear patterns. While no brake, suspension, or structural defects have been recorded, the higher mileage spurt in 2023 means inspecting brake discs and pads for uneven wear, checking suspension bushes for cracking or splitting, and verifying exhaust emissions and structural integrity around wheel arches and subframes remains prudent.
