Our Verdict
A fair example of a 2013 BMW 125 that al
Verify the service history for this 1997cc engine, ensuring that oil and filter changes have been performed at regular intervals. Given the MOT advisories from 2023 and 2024, you should confirm whether the suspension arm bushes and anti-roll bar linkages have been replaced or if they remain worn.
Negotiate the price based on the current state of the suspension and the age of the tyres, especially considering the nail found in the offside rear tyre in late 2024. Ensure all electrical components, particularly the exterior lighting, are fully operational.
The 2.0L petrol engine provides a premium driving experience but carries higher fuel and tax costs than the smaller 1-series variants. Insurance will be typical for a mid-range BMW, though costs vary by driver profile.
Maintenance for a 13-year-old BMW typically involves higher parts costs for suspension and braking components. You should budget for annual servicing and the potential replacement of wear-and-tear items common to this age of vehicle.
Prioritise an inspection of the front suspension. The MOT history specifically highlights worn suspension arm pins and bushes in 2023, and a severely deteriorated anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover in 2024; check if these have been rectified.
Inspect the windscreen for any remaining damage or repairs following the 2022 advisory. Additionally, check all position lamps and indicators to ensure the 2024 lighting failure was permanently resolved rather than just a temporary bulb replacement.
This black 2.0L petrol BMW 125 has recorded 95,788 miles, which is consistent with the model's average annual usage. Its MOT history shows a pass in 2025 and one failure in 2024 caused by a position lamp, a nail in a tyre, and a deteriorated dust cover. There are recurring advisories regarding the front suspension components across 2023 and 2024.
Based on data from 4,809 vehicles, this model has an average MOT pass rate of 85.7%, with common failure points being headlamps, exhausts, and shock absorbers.
