2021 BMW 118 1.5L Petrol · SA21 ABC

The vehicle presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 3 February 2026 at 21,519 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior examinations in February 2025 at 16,623 miles and February 2024 at 12,369 miles also achieved clean passes. The absence of advisories across three consecutive annual tests indicates the BMW has been maintained to a standard that prevents the onset of measurable wear or structural concerns. Mileage accumulation reflects light use for a five-year-old hatchback. The odometer advanced just 4,896 miles between the February 2024 test at 12,369 miles and the February 2025 test at 16,623 miles, then a further 4,896 miles to the February 2026 examination at 21,519 miles, equating to an average of roughly 4,300 miles per year. Such low annual coverage suggests either short urban journeys or extended periods of storage. The DVSA record contains no gaps beyond the standard twelve-month cycle, and the clean sheets imply the previous keeper addressed any consumable items before each test. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished MOT trail. Low mileage combined with possible standing can conceal degraded suspension bushes, surface corrosion to brake discs, or stiffened calipers that a static test may not flag. Examine the front coil springs and subframe mounts for rust pitting, and confirm the exhaust emissions remain within limits under load. Verify tyre sidewalls for cracking and check wiper blades for perishing, as these minor consumables often suffer from inactivity rather than wear.
