2015 BMW 118 1.5L Petrol · VX65 TSY

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift from a clean history to reactive repairs. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 70,131 miles passed, it revealed play in the offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint and multiple tyre defects across three corners. This progression from a spotless record in 2022 suggests that the owner is now only addressing components as they approach MOT failure thresholds rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year. The data shows a steady accumulation between the 2022 test at 40,614 miles and the March 2026 test at 70,131 miles, representing an increase of roughly 7,300 miles annually. This relatively low annual mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it explains the rubber perishing and cracking noted on the tyres in the more recent advisories despite the low distance covered. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension components, as the anti-roll bar linkage indicates the beginning of wear in the steering assembly. The recurring advisories regarding tyres reaching the legal limit or perishing between 2023 and 2026 suggest a history of neglecting basic consumables. You must verify the age and condition of all four tyres and check for uneven wear patterns which might indicate issues with alignment or worn suspension bushes not yet fully detailed in the record.
