2015 BMW 118 2.0L Diesel · RF65 AFO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-07-14 recorded a pass at 139,514 miles, but a duplicate entry for the same date and mileage shows a failure with no defects noted. This inconsistency raises questions about the accuracy of the records. Previous tests from 2024-07-18 (129,517 miles), 2023-07-19 (112,204 miles), and 2022-07-19 (93,724 miles) all passed with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the last four years. However, the 2025 failure entry lacks explanatory details, which could suggest administrative error or unrecorded issues. The vehicle’s mileage of 139,514 miles at 11 years old equates to approximately 12,683 miles annually, exceeding average usage for its age. Notable jumps include 18,500 miles between 2022 and 2023, followed by 17,300 miles in 2024 and 10,000 in 2025. Such rapid accumulation increases wear on consumables like tyres and brakes, though no defects were recorded. The absence of structural or mechanical advisories in prior tests suggests routine upkeep, but the lack of detailed records for the 2025 failure limits confidence in the vehicle’s current condition. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system, particularly bushes and coil springs, given the high mileage. Brake components, including discs and calipers, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or corrosion. The exhaust system and corrosion levels on underbody panels should also be checked, as these are common failure points in older vehicles. The duplicated MOT entry for 2025-07-14 necessitates verification with the DVSA to confirm the vehicle’s compliance history before finalizing the purchase.
