BMW 3162013 · 1.6L Petrol

This BMW 316 presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 2 February 2026 at 82,785 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to March 2022, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has experienced very light duty. The mileage accumulation shows a notable increase in the last two years. Between March 2022 and February 2023, the car covered 4,307 miles. However, the distance jumped to 11,300 miles between February 2023 and January 2024, and increased again to 14,110 miles by February 2025. The most recent interval shows a further 11,712 miles added. While the total average of 6,368 miles per year is typical for a 2013 model, the recent uptick in usage means consumables will wear faster than they did in the vehicle's early life. The absence of any advisories or failures over five years of testing is rare for a vehicle of this age. There are no recorded issues with suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc corrosion, nor any mentions of exhaust emissions failures. The lack of structural integrity warnings suggests the chassis remains sound and free from significant rust. A buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of the brake pads and tyre tread depths, as these consumables often wear down between test dates without triggering a failure. Given the recent increase in annual mileage, checking the service history for oil changes and filter replacements is advisable to ensure the engine has been supported during this period of higher usage.
