2016 BMW 118 2.0L Diesel · YJ65 KBH

The 2024‑11‑22 MOT at 113,392 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance trend is stable. All three preceding tests from 2022 through 2023 also resulted in passes, indicating consistent upkeep. Mileage has risen from 86,818 miles in the January 2022 test to 113,392 miles in the November 2024 test, a gain of roughly 26,600 miles over 28 months, or about 9,500 miles per year, which aligns with the vehicle’s age of ten years. The interval between the 2023‑02 and 2023‑11 tests was only nine months and 1,781 miles, showing a modest accumulation, while the jump from 2023‑11 to 2024‑11 represents a larger 10,737‑mile increase in one year. The 2023‑02 test noted an insecure nearside rear shock absorber shroud, slight run‑out in the offside front disc, and a tyre worn close to the legal limit on the outer edge, all of which were recorded as pass items rather than failures. These recurring observations suggest that suspension bushes, shock mounting points and brake disc condition merit close attention. A buyer should therefore inspect the rear suspension mounting hardware for looseness or corrosion, verify that the shock absorber shroud is securely fitted, examine the front and rear brake discs for run‑out and pad wear, check tyre tread depth and edge wear patterns, and look for structural rust around the chassis rails and suspension mounting points, especially where the nearside rear shroud was previously identified as insecure.
