2020 BMW 116 1.5L Diesel · DA17 NKS

The 2020 BMW 116 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 1 September 2025 at 25,951 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests also passed cleanly. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the history, indicating the vehicle has not shown worsening wear or recurring component failures. Mileage remains low for a six-year-old car. The record shows 11,426 miles on 6 September 2023, rising to 11,427 miles at the pass on 12 September 2023, then 18,648 miles by 10 September 2024 and 25,951 miles by 1 September 2025. That equates to roughly 4,325 miles per year. The sparse, clean history with only a single early fail logged on 6 September 2023 for an unspecified reason with no defects recorded suggests light use and minimal mechanical intervention. A buyer should still verify in person that the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs show no corrosion or wear hidden by the clean tests. The 6 September 2023 failure with no defects listed points to a possible administrative or non-mechanical cause, but confirm the V5C and test certificate match. Given the low annual mileage, check for perished seals or flat spots on tyres from standing. No structural integrity issues, exhaust emission breaches, or binding calipers appear in the DVLA data. The previous owner kept basic upkeep current. Inspect underneath for early rust and test the handbrake travel before purchase.
