2016 BMW 120 2.0L Diesel · AL02 AFC

The vehicle presents a roadworthy profile with a stable maintenance trend despite a minor recent failure. The most recent test on 27 August 2025 at 47,844 miles resulted in a pass following a failure for a non-functional offside side repeater, which was rectified immediately. Prior to this, the car maintained a clean record for three consecutive years, indicating that the primary mechanical systems and structural integrity have remained within acceptable tolerances during the inspection intervals. The mileage pattern is significantly low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,784 miles per annum. There is a notable increase in usage between the 2024 test at 30,614 miles and the 2025 test at 47,844 miles, representing over 17,000 miles in a single year. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, the gaps between tests can sometimes allow rubber-based components like suspension bushes or coolant hoses to perish if the vehicle sits for extended periods. A buyer should physically inspect the condition of the underbody and sills, as the records note the fitting of undertrays and outer sill covers in both 2024 and 2025. This suggests the previous owner was proactive about protecting the chassis from corrosion or addressing surface rust. Given the low annual mileage and recent spike in use, the brake discs and calipers should be checked for pitting or seizing, which are common on cars that are driven infrequently but then subjected to longer distances.
