2010 BMW 116 2.0L Diesel · DA60 TVW

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean MOT results. The most recent test conducted in late February 2025 at 120,009 miles passed with no defects recorded, maintaining a stable trend of zero failures over the last five years. This streak suggests that the previous owners have proactively maintained the vehicle and addressed minor wear items before they could result in a formal test failure. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a sixteen-year-old BMW, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per annum. Specifically between February 2021 at 80,654 miles and February 2025 at 120,009 miles, the car covered 39,355 miles at a steady rate. This indicates regular use rather than long periods of stagnation, which often leads to perished rubber components or seized brake calipers. The intervals between the annual tests are uniform, suggesting the vehicle has been in constant use and subject to a standard- and testing schedule. While the MOT record shows no mechanical faults, a buyer must focus the physical inspection on common failure points for this generation that do not always trigger an MOT advisory early. Check the front suspension for worn control arm bushes and tension struts, as these often degrade at this mileage. Given the age of the vehicle, inspect the underbody for surface corrosion on the sills and rear arches, as structural integrity is only flagged once rust reaches a significant threshold. Additionally, verify for any oil leaks around the valve cover or oil housing, as the MOT tester does not detect fluid leaks unless they result in a ground drip.
