BMW 1162020 · 1.5L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in February 2026 at 42,199 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory compared to previous years. While earlier inspections highlighted recurring wear on consumable components, the clean sheet from the latest inspection suggests that the current owner has finally addressed the outstanding mechanical issues identified in prior testing cycles. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year over the six-year period. The data shows steady progression from 24,546 miles in March 2023 to 42,199 miles in February 2026. This consistent accumulation generally reduces the strain on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage examples, though the low annual mileage can sometimes lead to flat-spotting or corrosion if the car sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should pay close attention to the front braking system, as the record indicates a clear history of wear. The tester flagged thin front brake pads at both 29,283 miles and 35,221 miles, alongside worn front discs noted in 2024. Although the most recent test shows no defects, a physical inspection must verify that the pads and discs have been replaced with quality parts and are not glazed or thinned. The recurring issue of tyres reaching the legal limit in 2023 and 2024 suggests a previous pattern of deferred routine maintenance, necessitating a thorough check of the current tread depth and alignment across all four tyres.
