2021 BMW 118 1.5L Petrol · ST71 FNJ

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following the successful test on 6 November 2025 at 38,086 miles. Maintenance records display a stable trend after addressing a critical tyre fault earlier in the ownership period. Although the 1 October 2024 inspection resulted in a failure due to an offside rear tyre showing exposed ply or cords, the subsequent pass on the same date confirms the issue was rectified immediately. The most recent report lists advisories for both front brake discs being worn but not excessively, indicating these parts require monitoring rather than urgent replacement. Usage patterns fit typical expectations for a five-year-old model with 38,086 recorded miles. The annual average of roughly 7,600 miles suggests regular driving without excessive strain on engine or drivetrain components. Testing intervals appear consistent, spanning from late 2024 through late 2025 without significant delays. This regularity implies the previous keeper prioritised statutory checks and likely adhered to scheduled servicing requirements to maintain the vehicle's operational status. Prospective buyers should inspect the front brake discs physically to assess remaining thickness against manufacturer specifications. The advisory status warns that material loss is occurring, so verifying surface condition prevents future failure. Attention must also turn to the rear wheel assembly where the cord exposure previously occurred, checking for rim damage or uneven tread depth. Suspension components such as shock absorbers and mounting bushes warrant examination for leaks or play, as these items influence handling stability at this age.
