2000 BMW 316 1.9L Petrol · W416 AKM

This 2000 BMW 316 has a low mileage of 98,611 miles, suggesting lighter use or long periods of standing. The most recent MOT in 2021 revealed a slightly deteriorated front brake hose, a recurring issue also noted in 2019. The MOT history shows a pattern of brake-related issues, with excessively corroded brake pipes in 2018 and a slightly deteriorated front brake hose in both 2021 and 2019. The overall trend looks to be worsening, with more significant issues noted in 2018. The mileage relative to age is low, which could imply lighter use or long periods of standing. However, the low mileage also means that the vehicle may not have been properly maintained or serviced, which could lead to hidden issues. A buyer should inspect the brake system, including the brake hoses and pipes, for any signs of wear or damage. They should also check the condition of the anti-roll bar linkage pin or bush, which was excessively worn in 2018. In addition, a buyer should inspect the windscreen washer system, which was not working in 2018, and check the condition of the front and rear brake pads, which were not mentioned in the MOT history but are a common wear item. A buyer should also check the oil leak mentioned in the 2017 MOT, as well as the insecure offside front bumper.
