BMW 1162013 · 2.0L Diesel

This BMW 116 presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of passes. The most recent test on 13 May 2025 at 120,891 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the vehicle failed its tests on 12 May 2025 and 23 April 2024, these failures were resolved immediately on the same or following day. The absence of any recorded advisories over the last three years suggests a vehicle that is maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without lingering faults. The mileage pattern is consistent with the age of the vehicle. It has covered approximately 9,299 miles per year over its thirteen-year lifespan. A notable increase in usage occurred between 23 April 2024 and 13 May 2025, where the odometer rose from 97,913 to 120,891 miles. This indicates a period of heavy use, totaling over 22,000 miles in just over a year, which is significantly higher than the previous interval between April 2023 and April 2024. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should physically inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs. These components typically degrade around the 120,000-mile mark regardless of MOT outcomes. The recent spike in mileage suggests that consumables such as brake discs and tyres may be nearing the end of their service life. Checking for underbody corrosion is also advisable given the vehicle's age, as surface rust often goes unmentioned until it affects structural integrity.
