2015 BMW 1162.0L Diesel

The 2026-07-09 MOT at 93,286 miles passed, confirming the BMW 116 remains roadworthy, but the rear brake pad wear (1.1.13 (a) (ii)) and reduced windscreen wash pressure show that minor defects persist. No major failures were recorded since the 2023 test, indicating a stable maintenance trend. The mileage record spans 11 years and 93,286 miles, averaging 8,481 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for this age. However, the interval from July 2023 (78,725 miles) to June 2025 (89,053 miles) adds 10,328 miles in two years, a rate of about 5,164 miles per year that exceeds the overall average and suggests heightened use during that period. A buyer should therefore examine the rear brake assembly for pad thickness, disc condition and any binding calipers, inspect suspension bushes and coil springs for corrosion or wear, and check the chassis for structural rust, especially around the wheel arches where repeated outer‑edge tyre wear points to possible alignment or suspension fatigue. The windscreen wash system should also be tested for adequate pressure. Overall, the vehicle’s history shows a consistent record with no catastrophic failures, yet the recurring tyre wear and brake issues merit close scrutiny before purchase.
