2022 BMW 118 1.5L Petrol · RJ71 LKX

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 31 December 2025 at 53,863 miles passed with no defects recorded. This followed a failure just eight days prior on 23 December 2025 at 53,862 miles. While the record shows no specific defects for that failure, the proximity suggests a minor issue, such as a blown bulb or a sensor fault, which was immediately rectified before the subsequent pass. The mileage profile indicates high usage for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 13,466 miles per annum. Between the 6 January 2025 test at 44,619 miles and the end-end 2025 test at 53,863 miles, the car covered 9,244 miles in under eleven months. This rapid accumulation suggests consistent long-distance motorway driving, which typically accelerates the wear on consumable components such as brake pads, tyres, and suspension bushings compared to low-mileage city cars. Given the high mileage and the lack of recorded advisories or structural corrosion reported in the digital history, a buyer must focus the physical inspection on mechanical wear-related items. Examine the brake discs for signs of thinning or scoring, and check the front suspension arm bushes for tears in the rubber. Because the vehicle has passed over 50,000 miles, verify the service history to ensure oil changes followed manufacturer intervals, as the MOT record only confirms the vehicle met minimum safety standards rather than reflecting proactive mechanical maintenance.
