2021 BMW 118 1.5L Petrol · SA54 RES

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthiness verdict of Pass, but this is not a stable or improving record; rather, it reflects a pattern of maintenance gaps and structural degradation that has persisted since the most recent inspection. The current test on 2026-06-18 at 12,467 miles was passed, marking the end of a long period of failure where the Front Outer Tyre bulge caused a failed MOT in early 2024. This indicates that while the vehicle has been driven and serviced, the underlying structural integrity of the front wheel has deteriorated, a condition that has not been resolved since the 2025-10-31 test. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle's low annual mileage of roughly 2,493 miles suggests a potential issue with consumption or usage habits rather than excessive wear on the drivetrain. However, the data is sparse and clean in the absence of a specific record for the 2025-02-01 test, which was likely taken due to the absence of defects. The gap between the 2025-10-31 and 2025-02-01 tests suggests that the vehicle was driven for approximately four months between the two assessments, a period of which the MOT record does not provide a clear indication of maintenance frequency or wear patterns. Given the recurring faults, particularly the bulge in the front outer tyre and the lack of recent positive results, a buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to evaluate suspension bushings, brake discs, and structural integrity. The absence of a clear record for the 2025-02-01 test warrants caution, as the vehicle has not been tested for suspension or braking issues since the 2025-10-31 test. A physical inspection is required to determine if the structural risks associated with the bulge and the lack of recent positive results constitute a serious mechanical risk that requires immediate attention.
