2010 BMW 118 2.0L Diesel · SB10 KHA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent DVSA test on 27 October 2025 at 160,796 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded; that examination sits fewer than nine months before the current date of 9 July 2026, keeping the record fresh. Prior to that, the 21 October 2024 examination at 154,704 miles and the 28 October 2023 test at 144,610 miles each passed cleanly. The only blemishes are two anomalous failures with no defects logged, on 27 October 2025 and 26 October 2023, both immediately followed by passes at near-identical mileages; this points to administrative rejection rather than mechanical fault. Mileage progression aligns with typical use for a 2010 registered hatchback. The record shows 144,598 miles on 26 October 2023, rising to 154,704 by 21 October 2024, a 10,106-mile annual spread, then to 160,796 by 27 October 2025, a reduced 6,092-mile year. Over sixteen years this equates to roughly 10,050 miles per annum. The history is sparse but unblemished by advisories, showing no rapid accumulation or prolonged standing gaps that would flag hidden wear. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of high-stress components despite the clean MOT ledger. At 160,796 miles the front suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs will likely show fatigue not yet captured as defects; testers recorded no advisories on corrosion or structural integrity, yet sills and subframes on older BMW 1-series warrant close scrutiny for rust. The twin no-defect failures suggest previous owners may have presented incorrect documentation, so verify the V5C and test station notes before purchase.
