Our Verdict
This is a strong candidate for buyers se
Given the low mileage relative to the model average, your primary focus should be on verifying the service history. While the MOT record is clean, an MOT does not confirm that scheduled maintenance, such as oil changes or brake fluid flushes, has been performed according to BMW's requirements.
When inspecting this 1.5L petrol M Sport, check for any signs of uneven tyre wear, as 'tyres' are a common failure point for this model type. Ensure the infotainment system and M Sport specific interior trim are in good order, and confirm that the vehicle has been serviced within the manufacturer's recommended intervals to maintain its performance.
As a 1.5L Euro 6 petrol engine, this BMW is designed for relatively efficient running compared to larger displacement models. You should expect moderate fuel economy suitable for mixed driving, though actual figures will depend on driving style and load.
Tax and insurance will be influenced by the M Sport trim level, which typically sits in a mid-range insurance group. Maintenance costs for BMWs can be higher than non-premium brands, particularly for specialist parts. Expect an estimated annual running cost of approximately £1,200-£1,500, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing.
Focus your inspection on the consumables. Although this specific vehicle has no recorded MOT failures, the aggregate data for this model shows that tyres, seat belts, and repeater lights are common failure points. Check the tread depth and condition of all four tyres and ensure all indicator bulbs are functioning correctly.
Additionally, inspect the brake pads and discs. Even with low mileage, if a car has been used for short urban trips, components can show wear. Check the condition of the M Sport upholstery and ensure all electronic components, such as the parking sensors and climate control, are operating without error.
Registered in September 2020, this black BMW 218i M Sport has covered 24,763 miles as of its last MOT in October 2025. This mileage is notably lower than the model aggregate average of 8,067 miles per year, which would suggest a figure closer to 32,000 miles for a vehicle of this age. The MOT record shows a consistent pattern of passes with no recorded defects or failures since its first test.
The BMW 2 Series shows a high average MOT pass rate of 89.7% across the 6,718 vehicles analysed in our database.
