2016 BMW 218 1.5L Petrol · MP65 PXV

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a pass on 03 November 2025 at 91,857 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement after a period of significant neglect in late 2023. While the car failed just four days prior on 30 October 2025 due to a supplementary restraint system warning lamp, the subsequent pass with no recorded defects indicates that this electronic fault was addressed and the vehicle currently meets the minimum legal standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,186 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of mileage, with 11,961 miles recorded between September 2023 and September 2024, and another 9,073 miles between September 2024 and November 2025. This regularity suggests the car is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which generally helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and brake seals. A buyer should conduct a close-up inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The September 2023 failure at 70,821 miles revealed multiple failures including worn brake pads, pitted inner discs, and excessively worn front suspension arm bushes. Although these were rectified to achieve the clean 2024 pass, the buyer should verify there is no remaining play in the steering and that the brake discs are free of uneven wear. The SRS warning lamp failure in 2025 also warrants a check to ensure the airbag system is fully functional and not merely masking an intermittent electrical fault.
