BMW 118i M Sport Auto (2022)
2022 BMW 118i M Sport Auto
CarHunch is tracking 125 2022 BMW 118i M Sport Auto vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 2022 BMW 118i M Sport is a genuine concern: only 2.4% passed first time, compared to the UK average of 80%, and every petrol version in the cohort (122 vehicles) failed its MOT. No dangerous defects were recorded, which is the only positive here, but the near-universal failure rate suggests a systematic issue affecting this specific model rather than random failures. With average mileage at just 21,602 miles for a two-year-old car, these vehicles aren't high-mileage outliers—something about how they're engineered or maintained is causing them to fail MOT standards consistently. Before buying, get a pre-purchase inspection from an independent BMW specialist and ask the seller to show you the MOT failure notice; understand exactly what's failing (likely emissions or suspension-related) so you can budget for immediate repairs and ongoing costs.
We have 125 2022 BMW 118i M Sport Auto vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data to show reliable statistics for this cohort.
What to check before buying a 2022 BMW 118i M Sport Auto
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
