2016 BMW 218 1.5L Petrol · P90 SAP

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent 2025-11-19 MOT at 59,960 miles recording a pass with no defects. Previous tests from 2024-09-25 (55,573 miles), 2023-10-02 (51,336 miles), and 2022-08-26 (46,429 miles) also passed without issues, despite a duplicate entry on 2023-10-02 showing a failure with no defects listed. This suggests consistent compliance with safety standards, though the unexplained failure entry warrants scrutiny. No recurring mechanical or structural concerns are evident from the record. The vehicle’s mileage of 59,960 miles over 10 years equates to approximately 5,996 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage may indicate infrequent operation or prolonged storage, which can lead to component degradation not reflected in mileage alone. The MOT intervals align with standard annual testing, with no gaps exceeding 14 months. The absence of defects in all recorded tests, aside from the ambiguous failure, implies diligent maintenance but does not confirm the vehicle’s condition beyond the tested dates. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, as low mileage can mask wear from inactivity. Brake systems, including discs and calipers, should be inspected for corrosion or binding, common in vehicles with extended storage periods. Structural integrity, though not flagged in tests, remains critical to assess, as rust or fatigue may develop in hidden areas. The MOT history provides a clean baseline, but physical inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’sTrue mechanical state.
