2018 BMW 116 1.5L Diesel · AV68 ADZ

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no recorded defects across its last five MOT tests, including the most recent 2026-02-21 assessment at 64,530 miles. All tests from 2022 to 2026 show consistent compliance, indicating effective maintenance practices by previous owners. No advisories or failures were noted, suggesting the car has been well-maintained within its service history. The absence of recurring issues across multiple inspections implies a lack of significant mechanical or structural degradation. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,066 miles annually. The recorded intervals between tests are largely consistent, with minor variations in mileage accumulation between 2022-08-22 (39,699 miles) and 2023-03-22 (44,573 miles), reflecting a 4,874-mile increase over seven months. Subsequent tests show steady annual growth, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. This pattern suggests regular use without excessive wear on consumables or major components. While no specific faults were recorded, a buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, which can degrade over time without immediate warning. Brake discs and calipers should also be inspected for uneven wear, as these often develop gradually. The exhaust system’s integrity is another critical area, as corrosion or leaks may not appear in MOT tests unless severe. Routine checks on fluid levels and tyre tread depth, though not flagged in the record, remain prudent given the vehicle’s age and mileage.
