2010 BMW 116 2.0L Petrol · SG60 AAF

The vehicle presents a consistent and stable maintenance profile according to the official DVSA records. The most recent test on 3 September 2025 at 75,532 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a series of successful inspections dating back to 2021, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum regulatory requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,721 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 55,807 miles in January 2021 to 75,532 miles in September 2025. While the low annual mileage suggests light usage, the gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests indicates periods where the vehicle may have been stationary for longer intervals. Such low-use patterns can sometimes lead to aged rubber components or fluid degradation despite the lack of recorded faults. Because the MOT history is entirely free of advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion, the records imply a high level of upkeep or very gentle driving conditions. However, a buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of the underbody to check for surface rust on the exhaust system and subframes, as MOT testers often overlook minor corrosion that has not yet reached a failure threshold. The absence of previous failures or advisories for tyres or wiper blades suggests the owner has addressed consumable wear proactively. Given the low mileage, I recommend a thorough inspection of all rubber seals and suspension bushings for signs of perishing or cracking, which often occurs when a vehicle sits idle for extended periods. The mechanical history is clean, but the age of the vehicle necessitates a close look at age-related degradation that MOT testing may not capture.
