2012 BMW 1 Series 2.0L Diesel · MW62 CWZ

This BMW 1 Series is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 23 May 2025 at 120,493 miles passed without any defects or advisories. While the vehicle failed its tests on 22 April 2025 and 22 April 2024, the lack of recorded defects in the history suggests these were likely administrative failures or minor issues resolved immediately. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age. It covered 11,487 miles between April 2023 and April 2024, followed by a slower accumulation of 9,908 miles leading up to the May 2025 test. This average of roughly 8,600 miles per year indicates regular use rather than prolonged periods of standing, which generally helps preserve rubber seals and battery health. The MOT record is unusually clean for a fourteen year old vehicle, showing no flagged issues with suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions across the last three years. This absence of advisories is atypical for a car of this vintage and mileage. A buyer should verify if the vehicle has a comprehensive service history to ensure that essential maintenance, such as oil changes and coolant flushes, occurred outside of the MOT process. Given the age of the chassis, a physical inspection should focus on structural integrity and corrosion, particularly on the underbody and sills, as these are not always highlighted in a clean pass. Check for wear on the steering rack and suspension components, as these typically degrade by 120,000 miles regardless of the MOT outcome. Confirm the condition of the brake pads and tyre tread depths to ensure consumables are not nearing their limit.
