2011 BMW 118 2.0L Petrol · SB61 LDD

The vehicle's most recent MOT test, conducted on January 28, 2026, at 83,984 miles, resulted in a failed status due to several critical issues, including a major exhaust leak, inoperative power steering, and corroded central rear brake pipe. This test outcome indicates a worsening maintenance trend, as the vehicle has failed its MOT for the second consecutive time. The recorded mileage of 83,984 miles over about 15 years equates to an average annual mileage of approximately 5,599 miles, which is relatively low for its age. However, the lack of recent MOT entries prior to 2023 suggests a possible gap in maintenance history, and the vehicle's current mileage is significantly higher than its 2024 MOT reading of 75,907 miles, indicating a period of inactivity or reduced usage. A thorough inspection of the vehicle is crucial due to the recurring faults and structural/mechanical components flagged in the history. The recent MOT failure highlights concerns with the power steering, supplementary restraint system, and exhaust system. Additionally, the vehicle's brake system requires attention, with worn rear brake discs and thin rear brake pads noted in the 2026 MOT test. Furthermore, the corroded central rear brake pipe and nearside front and offside rear tyres worn close to the legal limit suggest potential issues with the vehicle's structural integrity and suspension.
