2016 BMW 218 1.5L Petrol · YW65 FKR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a history of clean passes in recent years. The most recent inspection in April 2025 at 87,814 miles resulted in no recorded defects, following a clean pass in July 2024. This suggests that the vehicle has maintained its mechanical and safety standards through the current testing cycle, with no recurring structural or mechanical degradations appearing in the last three annual tests. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical low-intensity commuter use, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 18,176 miles recorded between July 2023 at 60,804 miles and July 2024 at 78,980 miles, indicating a period of higher usage compared to other intervals. However, the subsequent interval of 8,834 miles leading to the 2025 test shows a return to more consistent usage levels, which helps prevent accelerated wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings. The only failure in the provided record occurred in October 2022 at 57,101 miles due to a nearside rear tyre cut reaching the cords. This was a simple consumable issue resolved immediately as the vehicle passed three days later. A buyer should still verify the current condition of the tyres for sidewall damage or uneven wear, as the record does not track tread depth between tests. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, a physical inspection should focus on the integrity of the front control arms and the condition of the brake calipers for any binding, as these are common points of wear on this BMW model despite the otherwise clean MOT history.
