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

The 2016 BMW 120 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 7 July 2025 at 82,044 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. No advisories or failures appear anywhere in the supplied history, which indicates the vehicle has not required corrective work at test stage since at least 2021. Annual mileage has tracked close to typical expectations for a ten-year-old car. The record shows 55,601 miles on 4 August 2021, rising to 61,025 by 2 August 2022, 69,011 by 21 August 2023, 74,253 by 21 August 2024, and 82,044 by 7 July 2025. That equates to roughly 6,000 to 8,000 miles per year with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps. The clean test sheets across this span suggest the previous keeper kept basic consumable and mechanical upkeep current rather than deferring faults to test date. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection despite the spotless MOT trail. The DVSA record captures only test-day condition and does not measure intermediate wear on coil springs, suspension bushes, brake disc thickness, or subframe corrosion between visits. With the car now past 80,000 miles, front control arm bushes and rear trailing arm mounts warrant physical checks for age-related cracking. Exhaust emissions and structural integrity have drawn no tester concerns to date, but standing moisture exposure can hide chassis rust not yet at test threshold. Verify service history matches the low advisory profile and confirm tyre tread depth and brake caliper freedom during a road trial before purchase.
