2018 BMW 120 2.0L Petrol · WM18 KFJ

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward reactive upkeep regarding consumable components. The most recent test in August 2025 at 28,593 miles flagged a front outer tyre worn close to the legal limit with uneven edge wear. This follows a 2024 inspection where a distorted road wheel and a cut tyre were noted, suggesting that while the vehicle passes, attention to basic running gear has recently lapsed. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year. Between June 2021 and June 2022, the car covered only 1,956 miles, indicating periods of low use. However, the mileage increased by 8,650 miles between August 2024 and August 2025. This low annual mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, but can also lead to degradation of rubber components, suspension bushes, and brake calipers due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension geometry and alignment, as the uneven tyre wear recorded in 2025 and the distorted wheel in 2024 indicate potential tracking issues or worn bushings. Check the brake discs for signs of corrosion or pitting, which often affects low-mileage cars that sit stationary. Given the clean records between 2021 and 2023, the structural integrity appears sound, but the recent advisories on wheels and tyres necessitate a thorough check of the front-end components.
