Our Verdict
This is a strong candidate for a buyer s
When viewing this 2022 model, focus on verifying the service history to ensure the manufacturer's scheduled maintenance has been completed, as MOT records do not confirm mechanical upkeep. Check the interior condition, particularly the infotainment controls and upholstery, which are common touchpoints in this model.
Since the 2025 MOT noted smearing wipers, ensure the new blades are fitted and that the windscreen is free of chips or deep scratches that could cause future issues. Given the 1.5L petrol engine, confirm that the vehicle has been used for a variety of driving conditions to prevent carbon buildup.
The 1499cc petrol engine is generally efficient for its class, likely sitting in a moderate insurance group and tax band. Fuel economy should be competitive for a premium hatchback, though actual figures will depend on driving style and load.
Maintenance costs for a BMW typically sit higher than non-premium brands. Expect standard servicing costs to reflect the brand's positioning. The estimated annual running cost includes fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance.
The primary inspection point based on recent history is the windscreen wiper system; ensure the blades clear the glass smoothly without streaking. Beyond the MOT record, inspect the tyres for even wear, which can indicate alignment issues.
As a 2022 vehicle, check for any signs of stone chips on the white paintwork and ensure all LED lighting elements are functioning correctly. While no mechanical failures have been recorded in the MOT history, a test drive is essential to check for any unusual noises from the suspension or drivetrain.
Registered in October 2022, this white BMW 118 has covered 29,298 miles as of its last MOT in February 2026. The vehicle has a very clean MOT record with no recorded failures, only one minor advisory for wiper blades in late 2025. Given its age, the mileage appears consistent with typical modern usage for a petrol-engined hatchback.
There is no aggregate MOT data available for the BMW 118 to provide a statistical reliability profile.
