2014 BMW 116 2.0L Diesel · DA14 XNU

The 2014 BMW 116 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 31 May 2025 at 73,615 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following an anomalous failure on the same date and mileage with no defects listed, an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in May 2024 at 69,863 miles, May 2023 at 65,723 miles, and May 2022 at 62,132 miles all passed cleanly with no advisories. The vehicle shows no worsening pattern of wear across the five-year record. Annual mileage averages 6,135 miles against the car's twelve-year life, a typical figure for the age. The record spans 62,132 miles in May 2022 to 73,615 miles by May 2025, a steady accumulation of roughly 3,800 miles per year with no gaps or sudden jumps. Clean passes across every entry indicate the previous keeper maintained basic statutory testing discipline, though the absence of advisories means worn consumables such as tyres, brake discs, and suspension bushes were either replaced before test or remained within limits. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points beneath the sills and subframes, as MOT passes with zero advisories do not confirm absence of early surface rust. The brake calipers, coil springs, and suspension bushes warrant hands-on checks for binding or fatigue not captured in a pass result. Given the clean history, no recurring mechanical fault demands corrective action, but pre-purchase examination of exhaust emissions hardware and drivetrain mounts remains prudent at this mileage.
