2017 BMW 120 2.0L Diesel · TW13 ARE

The 2026‑05‑18 MOT at 133,757 miles passed with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness. The maintenance record shows a stable trend, as no new faults have been recorded since the 2025 test, despite earlier recurring suspension and tyre advisories that have not re‑appeared. The vehicle’s mileage pattern is unusually high for a 2017 model. From the 2020 test at 53,495 miles to the 2022 test at 76,158 miles the odometer rose 22,663 miles in two years, averaging 11,332 miles per year. Acceleration is evident between 2022 and 2024, when mileage jumped from 76,158 to 106,995 miles (30,837 miles in two years, about 15,419 per year). The most recent year, 2025 to 2026, added 22,908 miles, indicating continued intensive use. Gaps in the record are minimal, with tests conducted annually except for a COVID‑19 six‑month extension in 2020. A buyer should inspect the off‑side front suspension arm pin and bush for wear, verify that the rear near‑side tyre bulge has been replaced, and examine the brake system for binding calipers, worn discs and the persistent brake wear warning light. Edge‑worn tyres, especially on the near‑side front and rear, merit close measurement, and the windscreen damage should be assessed for any hidden cracks affecting structural integrity. Any residual corrosion on the chassis, exhaust mounting points and suspension components should also be checked before purchase.
