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

This 2009 BMW 118 passed its most recent MOT in April 2026, but the report highlights worn and pitted front inner brake discs. The primary risk pattern is a recurring issue with the braking system. Advisory notes for worn discs and pads have appeared consistently since 2023, suggesting that brake maintenance has been reactive rather than preventative. While the vehicle has passed its tests, the reappearance of pitted front discs in the latest report indicates a stable but unresolved maintenance trend regarding the brakes. The mileage of 114,167 over 17 years is typical for its age. This suggests regular, moderate use, meaning the drivetrain and suspension have seen a standard amount of wear and tear without the extreme risks associated with very high mileage or the degradation often found in cars that have sat idle for long periods. A buyer should first inspect the condition and thickness of the brake discs and pads. Given the history of pitting and wear, it is essential to verify if the brakes have been properly replaced or if they are nearing the end of their safe working life.
