BMW 1162014 · 2.0L Diesel

The 2014 BMW 116 remains roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 20 November 2025 at 126,002 miles which returned a pass and no defects recorded. Prior examinations on 22 November 2024 at 117,639 miles, 8 November 2023 at 108,091 miles, 1 December 2022 at 93,207 miles, and 26 November 2021 at 73,200 miles each produced clean passes. The vehicle shows no recurring mechanical or structural issues across the five-year record. Mileage progression aligns with typical use for a twelve-year-old hatchback, averaging roughly 10,500 miles per year. The owner covered 20,007 miles between the November 2021 and December 2022 tests, a comparatively brisk period. Accumulation then slowed markedly: 14,884 miles to November 2023, 9,548 to November 2024, and 8,363 to the final entry. This deceleration implies lighter recent use. The testing cadence is unbroken, with every annual assessment free of advisories on tyres, suspension bushes, or emissions. A clean MOT history does not exempt a prospective owner from scrutinising common age-related items. The tester flagged nothing on coil springs or brake discs, yet the buyer should probe subframe mounts and sill structures for incipient corrosion. Direct inspection of underbody areas will reveal rust missed at test. The buyer should verify brake caliper operation and tyre tread against service documentation, as the MOT captured no consumable wear.
