AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2014 BMW 116 passed its most recent MOT test on 2026-01-14 with no defects recorded at 73,749 miles. This is a positive trend, showing that the vehicle's maintenance has been stable over the past year. However, the recent history does reveal some recurring issues that require attention. The vehicle's mileage pattern is typical for its age, with approximately 6,146 miles accumulated per year. There are no notable gaps in the mileage record, but the rapid increase in mileage over the past few years may indicate more frequent use or longer driving distances. The owner has maintained the vehicle relatively well, with a clean record for the past few years, but some issues have been flagged in the past that are worth investigating further. The MOT history reveals several recurring faults that a buyer should inspect in person, including the steering rack's slight free play detected at the steering wheel, which was first noted in 2025. The front windscreen washer not working was also a problem in 2025, and the nearside front tyre had a cut in excess of the requirements in 2023. Additionally, the front and rear brake pads were wearing thin in 2021. A buyer should inspect the steering rack for excessive play and check the brake pads for wear, as well as the condition of the windscreen washer and the tyre for any signs of damage or wear. The vehicle's suspension and structural integrity should also be inspected for any signs of wear or corrosion, particularly given the vehicle's age and mileage.
