2017 BMW 116 1.5L Diesel · AF17 TYP

This 2017 BMW 116d presents a stable and largely unblemished maintenance trend. The most recent MOT, conducted on 22 November 2025 at 77,954 miles, passed cleanly with zero advisories or defects. This is a strong indicator that the vehicle's core mechanical and structural integrity is currently sound. The only defect recorded in the entire five-year history was a minor advisory for a worn nearside front tyre edge in December 2024, which has since been rectified. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical faults or a worsening pattern of failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for a vehicle of this age. Between October 2021 and November 2025, the recorded distance grew from 22,102 to 77,954 miles, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per year over that specific period. This is slightly above the overall lifetime average of 8,662 miles per year, suggesting the car has seen more regular, recent use rather than prolonged periods of inactivity. The mileage progression between tests is steady and logical, with no suspiciously large gaps or implausible jumps that would raise concerns about clocking. A buyer should still conduct a thorough in-person inspection, focusing on components typical for a BMW of this age and mileage. The advisory for uneven tyre wear on the nearside front in 2024, while minor, warrants a close examination of the front suspension geometry. Inspect the inner edges of both front tyres for any sign of renewed feathering or scalloping, which could point to worn suspension bushes or tracking misalignment. Given the car's low recent mileage, check the condition of the brake discs and pads for surface corrosion, as short journeys can cause uneven pad deposits and disc scoring. A test drive should assess the operation of the power steering and listen for any knocks from the front suspension over speed bumps, common wear points on this chassis.
