BMW 1162011 · 2.0L PETROL

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT in May 2026 at 60,235 miles with no recorded defects. This represents an improving maintenance trend following a minor failure in May 2025. The previous year's failure for a non-functional side repeater, insufficient washer fluid, and a non-conforming registration plate appears to have been rectified, suggesting the owner is responsive to immediate safety and compliance requirements. The mileage profile is notably low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. Data shows a consistent but sparse usage pattern, with 2,743 miles covered between July 2023 and July 2024, and another 7,267 miles in the final year. While low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, it can also lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid seals if the car sits stationary for extended periods between tests. A physical inspection must focus on the structural integrity of the rear subframe, as the July 2023 test at 48,192 miles flagged corrosion that was not yet seriously weakened at that time. Given the age of the BMW, this area should be monitored closely to ensure the rust has not progressed structurally. The buyer should also verify the rear brake hoses for signs of further corrosion at the ferrule as noted in 2023 and check the current tyres for uneven wear, as the nearside rear tyre was previously noted to be near the legal limit.
