2014 BMW 116 1.6L Diesel · CM06 MAK

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with all recent MOT tests confirming compliance. The most recent 2025-08-07 assessment at 171,250 miles recorded no defects, aligning with prior passes in 2024, 2023, and earlier. No recurring issues or advisories appear in the history, indicating consistent maintenance. The absence of critical failures suggests the owner prioritized basic upkeep, though high mileage raises expectations for component wear. The vehicle’s mileage of 171,250 miles at 12 years old equates to approximately 14,271 annual miles, exceeding typical usage for its age. The MOT records show steady progression from 144,849 miles in 2021 to 171,250 miles in 2025, with annual intervals of 6,000–7,000 miles. This pattern implies regular use rather than prolonged inactivity, increasing likelihood of wear on consumables and mechanical systems. The clean MOT history does not indicate structural corrosion or major drivetrain faults, but the high mileage warrants scrutiny of suspension, brakes, and exhaust components. A prospective buyer should inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for wear, as these typically degrade with extended use. The absence of exhaust emissions failures in the record is positive, but a visual check for corrosion under the chassis is advisable. No advisories on tyre tread or fluid levels are noted, but high mileage may necessitate checking brake caliper binding and steering linkages. The vehicle’s MOT history reflects no urgent risks, but its age and mileage demand a thorough pre-purchase inspection of mechanical and structural elements.
