2014 BMW 116 1.6L Diesel · DV64 AEB

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness profile, with no defects recorded in its last five consecutive MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-08-26 assessment at 138,189 miles. All prior tests from 2021 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the car has been well-maintained, with no signs of recurring faults or deteriorating components in the recorded history. Mileage progression shows steady usage, with annual increases of approximately 7,000–8,000 miles between tests. From 104,908 miles in 2021 to 138,189 in 2025, the pattern reflects regular driving rather than prolonged inactivity. No significant gaps or rapid accumulation are evident, aligning with the vehicle’s age and typical usage for a 12-year-old car. The clean MOT history over this period implies no major interventions were required, though the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into minor wear or preventative maintenance. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, which may degrade over time without visible faults. The brake system, including discs and calipers, should be inspected for uneven wear, as even passing MOTs do not guarantee optimal performance. Additionally, the exhaust system and body corrosion merits scrutiny, as these are common age-related issues in vehicles of this vintage. While the MOT records show no immediate risks, physical inspection remains critical to confirm the car’s ongoing reliability.
