2020 BMW 116 1.5L Diesel · Y80 JAL

The 2020 BMW 116 is roadworthy as of the most recent MOT on 26 June 2025 at 19,248 miles, having passed with a single advisory for slight damage and cracking on the near‑side rear tyre (5.2.3 (d)(ii)). No new defects were recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend since the previous tests. Mileage has risen from 10,423 miles in October 2023 to 12,946 miles in June 2024, then to 19,248 miles in June 2025. That represents an average of roughly 3,200 miles per year over six years, well below typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The jump of about 6,300 miles between June 2024 and June 2025 suggests a period of more intensive driving, yet the overall low total mileage points to relatively light use and limited wear on consumables. A prospective buyer should give the near‑side rear tyre a close visual inspection for any progression of the cracking noted in the 2025 advisory, and check the remaining tyres for tread depth and sidewall integrity. Although the MOT record shows no brake or suspension alerts, a tactile test of the brake pedal for any pulsation and a visual check of the suspension bushes and coil springs for corrosion or looseness will confirm that no hidden deterioration has emerged. Verifying the chassis for any signs of rust or structural damage will complete a thorough pre‑purchase assessment.
