BMW 1162005 · 1.6L Petrol

The vehicle is currently not in a roadworthy state as the most recent MOT test dates back to August 2021. The maintenance trend appears stable based on the available data, with the last recorded pass on 2021-08-07 at 141,217 miles. However, the car has been off the road or untested for nearly five years relative to the current date of July 2026. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age. It covered 11,671 miles between April 2019 and August 2020, then an additional 6,210 miles by August 2021. This averages to roughly 6,725 miles per year, suggesting typical usage. There are no signs of rapid mileage accumulation or erratic usage patterns in the recorded history. The MOT record is unusually clean, showing no defects or advisories across multiple tests. While a lack of flagged issues is positive, the five-year gap in testing is a significant red flag. Long periods of standing often lead to seized brake calipers, perished tyre sidewalls, and degraded battery health. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the chassis for corrosion and the suspension bushes for dry rot. Given the age of this BMW 1 series, the cooling system and oil leaks should be checked thoroughly. The absence of historical advisories does not guarantee current health after such a prolonged period of inactivity.
