2014 BMW 116 2.0L Diesel · WS08 SAR

The 2014 BMW 116 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 June 2025 at 74,139 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the preceding four annual tests show the same clean outcome. No advisories or failures appear anywhere in the five-year DVSA history, which indicates the vehicle has been kept to a consistent standard with no worsening mechanical faults emerging. Annual mileage sits at a modest 6,178 across the car's twelve-year life, with the record showing 57,902 miles in August 2021 rising to 74,139 by June 2025. The longest gap falls between the 2021 and 2022 tests at roughly eleven months, yet the 7,605 miles added in that period matches the car's average use. The sparse, clean record gives no sign of neglected consumables or deferred repairs, though the absence of advisories means minor wear was either absent or below test thresholds. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and BMW's known rear trailing arm corrosion risk. The tester logged no structural integrity concerns, but a twelve-year-old hatchback can hide underseal breakdown and exhaust hanger fatigue not caught in a pass result. Verify the service history aligns with the low annual mileage and confirm tyre age rather than relying on the clean MOT alone.
