2016 BMW 218 1.5L Petrol · TX66 GER

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted in October 2025 at 46,281 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2024 and 2022, suggesting that the previous owners maintained the vehicle to a consistent standard without recurring major mechanical failures. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old BMW, averaging approximately 4,600 miles annually. Between October 2022 and October 2024, the car covered only 6,543 miles, maintaining a consistent low-use pattern. While a failure was recorded in October 2023 at 39,087 miles, the immediate pass on re-test suggests a minor issue was rectified quickly. The low annual mileage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes mask issues related to long periods of inactivity. Despite the clean history, a buyer should inspect for signs of age common to low-mileage vehicles. Cars that sit for long periods often experience dry rot or cracking in suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls regardless of tread depth. You should check the brake discs for pitting or seized calipers, as infrequent use can lead to surface corrosion on the braking system. Examining the structural integrity of the chassis for early corrosion is also advisable to ensure that the low mileage has not resulted in neglected cleaning over the decade.
