2014 BMW 116 1.6L Diesel · AY64 YRP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 9 September 2025 at 145,722 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal standards for road use. This recent trend of clean passes suggests a proactive approach to maintenance, as major mechanical or structural failures were avoided during the testing period. The mileage pattern reflects consistent high-frequency use, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per annum. Between the 2021 test at 133,348 miles and the 2025 test at 145,722 miles, the vehicle covered 12,374 miles. This steady accumulation suggests the car has been used regularly for longer distances, which often prevents the premature degradation of rubber components associated with long periods of standing. The intervals between tests remain regular, showing that the owner has adhered to the annual MOT testing schedule. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components subject to high-mileage wear, particularly that the September 2023 test at 140,869 miles flagged an advisory for a damaged nearside rear tyre. While that specific issue was resolved, the high overall mileage indicates that suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake components are nearing the end of their service life. Given the age of 145,000 miles, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion and an inspection of brake calipers for binding is essential, as the MOT does not assess the mechanical wear of these critical systems.
