2017 BMW 116 1.5L Diesel · AF17 GZN

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable and positive maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 16 March 2026 at 66,104 miles resulted in zero defects, indicating that all mechanical and safety components currently meet minimum standards. This follows a series of clean passes in the preceding years, suggesting the owner has proactively addressed any potential issues before they escalated into failures. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,345 miles per year. Between the March 2022 test at 32,398 miles and the March 2026 test at 66,104 miles, the car covered roughly 8,400 miles annually, showing steady usage patterns. This low-mileage profile typically implies reduced wear on the drivetrain components, brake cooling assemblies, and suspension bushings compared to high-mileage examples of the same age. The only noted irregularity in the history occurred in March 2023 at 39,048 miles, where the tester flagged minor cuts on both the nearside and offside rear tyres. While these did not result in a failure as the cords remained protected, they indicate a past vulnerability to road damage or poor tyre selection. Since no further tyre issues have appeared in the three subsequent tests, the buyer should simply verify the current tyre condition for sidewall cracking or uneven wear which might indicate an alignment issue. Given the lack of structural corrosion or recurring mechanical advisories, the physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation that an MOT does not always capture. A buyer should check the condition of rubber components, such as control arm bushes and engine mounts, and inspect the state of the shock absorbers for leaks, as these are common points of wear on these models. The overall record suggests a vehicle that has been well-maintained throughout its life.
