Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for immediate tyre and wheel checks before purchase. This 2016 BMW 116 diesel has a high mileage for its age but a generally passable MOT record apart from a recent failure on tyres and TPMS.
When considering this BMW 116, request the full service history to confirm whether the high mileage of nearly 130,000 has been maintained with regular oil changes and timely cam-belt or chain inspection, as no aggregate model data is available to guide expectations. Use the recorded MOT issues — particularly the 2025 failure for nail in tyre and cord-exposed wear, plus 2024's distorted wheels — as leverage to negotiate at least £200-£400 off the asking price to cover four new tyres and wheel inspection.
As a 1.5-litre diesel, the BMW 116 should return reasonable fuel economy, though exact figures are not in the provided data; diesel tax for a 2016 car of this size is typically in a lower CO2 band. Insurance group is not stated, but BMW premiums are generally mid-range for the class. Estimated annual running cost including fuel, tax, insurance and maintenance is around £1,200-£1,500 given the mileage and tyre replacement needs seen in the MOT history.
Inspect the near-side and off-side front tyres closely; the October 2025 failure noted a nail in the runflat, tread below 1.6mm and heavy outer-edge wear close to cord on the near-side front, and the off-side front worn on the edge. Check all four road wheels for distortion, as the 2024 MOT recorded slight distortion on both front and the near-side rear. Verify the TPMS functions correctly and that the windscreen damage noted in 2022 and 2023 has not spread or affects visibility.
The vehicle is a November 2016 registered grey BMW 116 with a 1.5-litre diesel engine, currently showing 129,787 miles as of its October 2025 MOT. Its history shows four passes and one failure, with the failure on the same date as the latest test due to severely worn near-side front runflat tyre, outer-edge wear, and a TPMS warning. Prior MOTs noted distorted road wheels and tyres close to the limit, suggesting uneven wear patterns that a buyer should investigate.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the BMW 116, so condition must be judged solely on this vehicle's individual history.
