AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2018 BMW 2 Series is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 21 October 2025 at 74,453 miles with no defects recorded. The series of tests from March 2024 onward shows a stable maintenance record, following the correction of a tyre fitting defect on the same day as the earlier failure, after which all subsequent tests have been passed without blemish. The mileage progression from 11,362 miles in April 2021 to 74,453 miles in October 2025 reflects an average annual increase of roughly 9,300 miles, consistent with normal usage for an eight‑year‑old vehicle. The jump from 28,760 miles in March 2023 to 47,511 miles in March 2024 represents a rapid accumulation of 18,751 miles in one year, but the overall trajectory remains steady with no prolonged periods of inactivity evident in the record. A buyer should therefore focus on verifying tyre condition and correct fitting, inspecting suspension bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers for wear or binding, examining brake discs and calipers for scoring or sticking, and checking for structural rust around the wheel arches and chassis. The absence of recurring mechanical failures suggests that, provided these items are sound at the point of purchase, the vehicle should continue to meet roadworthiness standards.
