2013 BMW 116 1.6L Diesel · CU63 UPJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, following a clean MOT pass in October 2025 at 91,336 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving pattern as the owner has actively addressed mechanical failures identified in previous tests. While the October 2025 test initially failed due to a dangerous nearside front tyre with exposed cords, the subsequent pass indicates this defect was rectified immediately. The vehicle currently carries no outstanding recorded advisories. At 91,336 miles over 13 years, the car has averaged approximately 7,000 miles per annum. This figure is consistent with low-average annual usage, which typically reduces wear on heavy drivetrain components and engine internals. The record shows a consistent usage pattern, with roughly 4,100 miles driven between the November 2024 and October 2025 tests, and another 5,600 miles prior that. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation that could lead to seal degradation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the steering and suspension assembly, as the November 2024 failure highlighted excessive play in the offside front inner steering linkage ball joint. Although this was repaired, the presence of such wear on one side of the axle often indicates that related suspension bushes or components are nearing their service life. The offside front windscreen damage noted in 2024 should also be checked to ensure the crack has not spread enough to compromise the structural integrity of the glass or driver visibility.
