2009 BMW 118 2.0L Diesel · YC09 AEG

This vehicle demonstrates an exceptionally stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent MOT on 28 November 2025 at 92,734 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of five consecutive years of passes without a single advisory or failure, indicating a high standard of preventative maintenance. The mileage is low for a 2009 model, averaging roughly 5,455 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady over the last five years, growing from 74,833 miles in November 2021 to 92,734 miles by November 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or suspicious gaps that would suggest periods of prolonged standing or hidden heavy use. Because the MOT record is unusually clean, it provides no data on the gradual wear of consumables. A buyer should physically inspect the brake discs and pads for surface corrosion or thinning, as the lack of advisories does not guarantee they are not nearing the end of their service life. Checking the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs is also advisable given the vehicle's age, as rubber components can perish regardless of low mileage. The absence of any flagged corrosion or structural integrity issues over five years is a positive indicator for a BMW of this era. However, a manual check of the underside for rust and a verification of the service history for oil changes are necessary to ensure the engine has been maintained alongside the chassis.
