2014 BMW 116 2.0L Diesel · ND62 AAA

The vehicle presents a generally stable maintenance profile, though the most recent MOT attempt in November 2025 indicates a lapse in basic consumable upkeep. The tester initially failed the vehicle due to ineffective windscreen wipers and an inability to inspect rear adult seatbelts because of child seats being fitted. While the vehicle passed immediately following these rectifications, the failure on wiper blades suggests that minor maintenance items are occasionally overlooked. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical low-to-mid usage pattern for a 12-year-old vehicle. The car has covered 79,764 miles, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. The records show steady progression, moving from 61,469 miles in November 2022 to 72,273 miles in December 2024, and finally reaching 79,764 miles in November 2025. This regular usage pattern is positive as it suggests the vehicle is driven frequently enough to avoid the common mechanical issues associated with long periods of inactivity. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to tyre wear and wheel condition. The history shows recurring issues with tyres being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges, specifically in June 2017, July 2018, and November 2022. This pattern often indicates alignment issues or suspension component wear. The June 2017 report also noted a distorted bead rim on the nearside front wheel, so a physical inspection of the alloy wheels for cracks or bends is necessary. The brake history shows a single advisory for thin rear brake pads in August 2020 at 51,279 miles. While no recent brake defects appear in the record, the buyer should verify the current thickness of the pads and the condition of the discs. Given the history of tyre wear, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and steering components is recommended to ensure there is no underlying geometry fault causing uneven tyre degradation.
