Our Verdict
This 2014 BMW 116 petrol is a reasonable buy for a budget-conscious buyer, but approach with caution due to a prior MOT failure and recurring tyre wear. Budget for immediate tyre replacement and verify all lamps work before purchase.
When negotiating, use the 2023 MOT failure (engine MIL inoperative and both front position lamps not working) as leverage, though it was corrected on the same date so evidence of repair should be requested. Ask for full service history to confirm the timing chain, spark plugs and brake fluid intervals have been observed on this 1.6-litre petrol unit. Given the white 2014 hatchback's age, confirm the infotainment and heating systems function, as these are not covered by MOT but commonly age on this model generation.
As a 1598cc petrol registered in July 2014, this BMW 116 likely falls in a moderate VED band (pre-April 2017 rates) and an average insurance group for a small premium hatchback. Real-world fuel economy should be around 45-50 mpg, though no model aggregate data was supplied to confirm. Typical annual maintenance for a 100k-mile BMW of this era, including tyres and consumables, can be estimated at £800-£1,000.
The 2023 failure recorded an inoperative engine malfunction indicator lamp and both front position lamps not working; physically confirm all dashboard warnings illuminate and extinguish correctly and that front sidelights operate. The MOT history shows near-side front tyre worn on the inner edge in 2024 and close to the limit in 2025, plus rear tyres at the limit in 2022 — inspect for uneven wear indicating tracking or suspension faults and replace any tyre near 3mm. With 100,908 miles on the clock, check for oil leaks, gearbox smoothness and brake disc condition not flagged in the MOT but relevant at this mileage.
The vehicle shows a consistent annual mileage of roughly 9,000-10,000 miles, with the latest test at 100,908 miles in October 2025. A 2023 MOT failure for lamp and engine warning light faults was rectified the same day, and subsequent tests passed. Recurring near-side front tyre edge wear across multiple years suggests a possible alignment or suspension issue worth investigating.
No aggregate MOT reliability data was available for the BMW 116, so this assessment relies solely on the individual vehicle's test history.
