2021 BMW 118 1.5L Petrol · YF21 TCX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of reactive tyre management. The most recent test on 15 May 2026 at 37,117 miles passed, yet the tester identified a nail in the nearside front tyre and perishing on the nearside rear tyre. This follows a pattern where the owner only addresses tyre issues once they reach the MOT failure threshold rather than performing preventative replacements. The mileage profile is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per annum. Between May 2024 at 24,107 miles and May 2025 at 30,296 miles, the car covered 6,189 miles. This steady but low accumulation suggests moderate road use, though the failure in May 2025 due to a structural tear and excessive wear on the offside front tyre indicates that the components were being neglected despite the low total mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of all four tyres, as the recurring reports of perishing and structural damage suggest potential neglect or poor storage or exposure to harsh elements. The presence of a run-flat on the nearside front contrasted with standard tyres elsewhere is an inconsistent setup that can affect vehicle handling and braking performance. The suspension should also be checked for uneven wear, as the excessive edge wear noted in the 2024 and 2025 records often points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes.
