2010 BMW 1161.6L Petrol

The 2010 BMW 116 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 March 2026 at 42,149 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 19 March 2025 at 36,193 miles confirms no advisories or mechanical faults have been raised across the last two examination cycles. The vehicle shows no worsening condition and no recurring workshop items across the supplied record. Recorded mileage stands at 42,149 against an approximate 16-year lifespan, equating to roughly 2,634 miles per year. The DVSA data shows 33,554 miles on 8 March 2024, rising to 36,193 by March 2025 and 42,149 by March 2026, a gentle annual accumulation of three to six thousand miles. Two failed tests appear on 8 March 2024 and 19 March 2025 at identical mileages to the subsequent passes on the same dates, with no defects logged; this points to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection. The history is sparse and clean, with no corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions concerns ever flagged. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and likely periods of standing inferred from low use. The tester never raised binding calipers, coil springs, or tyre tread limits, so consumable wear appears managed, yet 16-year-old rubber mounts and dampers warrant hands-on checks. Verify the duplicate fail-and-pass entries with DVSA to confirm no omitted defect data before purchase.
