BMW 1162016 · 1.5L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a highly positive maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 16 March 2026 at 97,435 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets all statutory safety requirements. This follows a period of clean passes in the previous years, suggesting that the current owner has addressed any emerging issues promptly, particularly following the single test failure noted in early 2024. The mileage pattern is consistent with a decade-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,700 miles per year. Between May 2023 at 61,169 miles and March 2025 at 79,963 miles, the car covered roughly 18,000 miles, showing a steady usage profile. The subsequent jump of 17,472 miles between March 2025 and March 2026 indicates a slight increase in annual travel but remains within typical parameters. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not been sitting for long periods, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and brake seals. While the recent MOT history is clean, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of the suspension components and braking system. Given the mileage approaching the 100,000-mile mark, wear on control arm bushes, shock absorbers, and coil springs is common on this model. The failure in April 2024 at 69,339 miles, despite being immediately rectified, indicates a specific component required attention at that point; therefore, checking for fluid leaks or thinning brake discs is prudent to ensure those repairs were effective.
