2013 BMW 116 1.6L Diesel · YD63 ACU

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2025-11-17 at 146,887 miles, recorded a pass with no defects. This follows a 2024-10-30 pass at 139,699 miles and a preceding 2024-10-24 failure at 139,691 miles, which also listed no defects. While the failure is unexplained, the absence of recorded issues in subsequent tests suggests the vehicle has maintained roadworthiness. However, the 10-day gap between the failure and the subsequent pass raises questions about the cause of the initial failure, which may have been resolved without formal reporting. The mileage progression shows a steady increase, averaging 11,299 miles annually over 13 years, aligning with typical usage for the model. Notably, the 2023-11-17 test at 125,272 miles to 2024-10-30 at 139,699 miles recorded a 14,427-mile rise in 11 months, followed by a slower 7,196-mile increase to 2025-11-17. This pattern suggests intermittent usage, potentially reflecting seasonal or lifestyle changes. The lack of significant mileage spikes or prolonged inactivity implies consistent operation, though the 2025 test’s age (over 10 months prior to 2026-07-20) means the vehicle’s current condition remains unverified. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension, brakes, and exhaust system, as these components often degrade with high mileage. The absence of corrosion or structural issues in MOT records is reassuring, but the 2024 failure—despite no recorded defects—warrants scrutiny of the braking system and alignment. Additionally, the vehicle’s age necessitates checking for worn suspension bushes, coil springs, and exhaust emissions, which may not trigger immediate failures but could indicate latent wear. No advisories on tyres or fluid levels were noted, suggesting routine maintenance was upheld.
