2016 BMW 216 1.5L Diesel · AF16 DXB

The 2016 BMW 216 presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 1 September 2025 at 125,443 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, though the same date also shows a failed attempt with no defects listed, an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Across the prior four years the vehicle cleared every MOT without advisories, indicating no escalating wear or recurring defects through the recorded period. Annual mileage sits at roughly 12,544 miles, high for a ten-year-old compact BMW but consistent with steady use rather than neglect. The records show 108,251 miles in September 2023, 101,629 miles in September 2022, 112,540 miles in August 2024, and 125,443 miles by September 2025. The jump of near 13,000 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests aligns with the long-term average. No gaps exceed thirteen months, so the test schedule reflects disciplined upkeep by previous keepers. Given the clean advisory history, the buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related fatigue not captured by pass outcomes. At 125,443 miles the drivetrain and exhaust emissions systems warrant a cold-start check for intermittent faults. The duplicated 1 September 2025 entries should be verified on the DVSA portal to confirm the pass is the live certificate. Structural integrity shows no corrosion or chassis concerns across the record. Tyre tread and wiper blades remain consumable items outside the scope of a fault-free history, but the absence of flagged wear suggests routine replacement was handled. The vehicle's high but uniform mileage implies motorway-biased running, which typically spares urban suspension loads.
