2015 BMW 120 2.0L Diesel · ND65 ODS

The vehicle presents a consistent history of passes, though the most recent inspection indicates the onset of minor maintenance-related issues. In the July 2022 test at 74,917 miles, the tester identified an oil leak and a deteriorated front registration plate. While the leak was not deemed excessive at the time, it suggests that gaskets or seals are beginning to degrade as the engine ages. This marks a departure from the clean records seen in 2020 and 2021, where the vehicle maintained a defect-free status across several thousand mile intervals. At 74,917 miles over eleven years, the BMW has covered a low average of approximately 6,800 miles per annum. This low mileage is generally positive, but it can lead to the hardening of rubber components and suspension bushes during long periods of inactivity. The record from the December 2019 test at 63,360 miles flagged both the nearside and offside front tyres as worn to the legal limit. This indicates a lapse in basic consumable maintenance during that period, though the subsequent clean tests suggest these issues were addressed shortly after. The lack of recorded defects between the 2022 test and the current date of 2026 suggests the structural integrity and braking systems have remained stable. However, because the last MOT is now four years old, a buyer must verify that the oil leak noted in 2022 has not worsened into a significant drip. Particular attention should be paid to the brake discs and suspension components, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from surface corrosion if they are not used frequently.
