2015 BMW 116 1.5L Diesel · DC65 VFE

The 2015 BMW 116 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 13 March 2026 at 102,771 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the two prior annual tests in June 2025 and June 2024 also closed as passes after initial failures that logged no defects. The absence of any advisories or recorded faults across the last three years indicates the vehicle has not shown worsening mechanical or structural condition in the official record. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,300 miles, consistent with typical use for an eleven-year-old car. The record moves from 88,802 miles on 6 June 2024 to 97,204 miles on 10 June 2025, then to 102,771 miles by 13 March 2026, a steady accumulation of about 9,000 to 9,500 miles per year with no abrupt jumps. The DVSA data is sparse and clean, showing only the pass-fail-pass cycles on the same dates without listed reasons, which limits insight into what triggered the failed attempts. A buyer should still verify in person why the June 2024 and June 2025 tests each opened as a fail before passing on the same day with no defects noted, as this can reflect administrative issues or minor items corrected pre-test. With no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion across the timeline, the structural integrity and running gear show no flagged risk in the record. Given the clean recent history, focus a physical inspection on tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and underside corrosion that MOT testers may not always record as advisories. The repeated same-day fail-then-pass pattern with zero defects suggests basic upkeep was adequate, but confirm the vehicle has not simply been presented for retest without documented rectification.
