Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 February 2026 at 83,342 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 24 January 2025 at 75,526 miles confirms no outstanding advisories have carried forward. The record shows no recurring mechanical or structural faults across the five-year span reviewed. Annual mileage averages roughly 8,334 miles against the car's ten-year age, a typical use profile for a 2016 BMW 116. The records show steady accumulation: 61,239 miles in January 2023, 67,514 in January 2024, 75,481 and 75,526 across two January 2025 entries, then 83,342 by February 2026. A two-day gap in January 2025 saw a fail on 22 January at 75,481 miles with no defects logged, immediately followed by a pass on 24 January at 75,526 miles; this points to an administrative or test-error reversal rather than a genuine fault. The history is sparse and clean, with no corrosion, suspension bush, brake disc, or emissions concerns ever raised. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of consumable items not captured by MOT pass criteria. Though unflagged, the original coil springs, brake calipers, and exhaust system have now covered 83,342 miles and may exhibit age-related fatigue invisible to a clean test sheet. Check for incipient structural rust on sills and subframes, and verify tyre tread depth and wiper condition given the car's low but continuous use pattern.
