2010 BMW 118 2.0L Diesel · NG10 AFV

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a consistent history of passing annual inspections. The most recent test on 29 November 2025 at 123,311 miles resulted in a pass, though the tester flagged a nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit. This follows a clean result in November 2024 at 120,236 miles, suggesting that while the vehicle is mechanically sound, the owner is currently managing consumable wear. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage between May 2019 and November 2020, where the mileage rose from 55,473 to 74,233 miles. Since then, the annual increments have remained steady, indicating regular road use rather than long periods of inactivity. The data shows a reliable pattern of annual testing without significant gaps in the record. A prospective buyer should focus on the braking system and tyre management. The 2016 test at 40,677 miles recorded thin brake pads on both rear wheels, and the 2025 test highlighted tyre wear issues. While these are consumable items, the recurring nature of tyre advisories in 2014, 2015, and 2025 suggests the owner may occasionally delay replacement until the legal limit is approached. Inspect the underside and engine bay for any signs of neglected maintenance, particularly regarding the under-trays mentioned in 2014 and 2020. Although no structural corrosion or suspension failures have been flagged in this period, the age of the vehicle means checking the condition of suspension bushes and brake discs for wear is advisable. The minor cosmetic damage to the offside mirror noted in 2023 does not impact mechanical integrity but should be verified.
