2016 BMW 116 1.5L Diesel · CE16 ADO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-04-24 at 131,698 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating stable roadworthiness. Previous tests from 2024-04-25 (121,198 miles) show conflicting outcomes—both pass and fail entries for the same date, though no defects were noted. This inconsistency may suggest administrative error, but the 2023 and 2022 tests at 106,976 and 91,069 miles, respectively, also passed without issues. Overall, the maintenance trend appears stable, with no recurring mechanical or structural faults documented in the last four years. The vehicle’s mileage of 131,698 miles over 10 years equates to an average of 13,170 miles annually, which is above the typical range for its age. Notable gaps include 14,222 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and 10,500 miles between 2024 and 2025, suggesting variable usage patterns. The high annual mileage increases the likelihood of accelerated wear on consumables like tyres and brake components, though no such issues were flagged in the records. The absence of corrosion, structural defects, or suspension-related advisories in the MOT history implies the vehicle has been maintained to meet legal standards. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as high mileage often exacerbates these issues. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, particularly given the 2024 test’s ambiguity. While no exhaust emissions or structural integrity concerns were recorded, the lack of detailed advisories in recent tests may indicate minimal proactive maintenance. The vehicle’s compliance with MOT requirements is current, but the high mileage and inconsistent 2024 data warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm mechanical soundness.
