2018 BMW 118 1.5L Petrol · MV68 AEJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 19 June 2025 at 71,644 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, although the two failures recorded on that same day in 2025 suggest that specific mechanical issues required immediate rectification to achieve a pass. Since that successful inspection, no further defects or failures have been logged, indicating the vehicle has met minimum legal safety and emission standards for the past year of operation. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. There is a significant increase in usage between the December 2023 test at 31,532 miles and the December 2024 test at 60,475 miles, representing nearly 30,000 miles driven in a single twelve months. This burst of high mileage likely accelerated wear on consumable components such as tyres, brake pads, and suspension bushings compared to the lower usage period seen between the 2024 and 2025 tests. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that may have triggered the June 2025 failures, as the record does not specify the exact nature of those defects. Given the recent high-mileage interval, a close examination of the control arms, shocks, and brake discs is advisable to ensure no excessive lateral wear or binding calipers have developed. Checking for structural corrosion on the exhaust system and mounting points is also necessary to verify that the increased usage has not compromised the structural integrity of the chassis.
