2016 BMW 116 1.5L Diesel · EY16 EFG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its most recent MOT on 16 July 2025 at 52,871 miles. The maintenance trend shows a period of high stability followed by a significant failure just one day prior to that pass. This failure identified a major exhaust leak, emissions failure, and a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system. The fact that the car passed the following day suggests the owner addressed these critical mechanical and safety faults immediately to bring the vehicle back to legal standard. At 52,871 miles over ten years, this BMW reflects a low average usage pattern of approximately 5,300 miles per year. The data indicates consistent but infrequent use, with a 7,525-mile gap between March 2024 and July 2025, and a 4,065-mile gap the year prior. This low mileage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though the long intervals between tests implied by the low mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or fluid-related issues despite the low odometer reading. A buyer should physically inspect the exhaust system specifically to ensure the flexi-element and silencer have been properly secured, as these were flagged in both 2024 and 2025. The tyre pressure monitoring system also requires verification to ensure the fault was genuinely rectified rather than merely cleared with a code. Given the 2024 advisories regarding rear tyres worn to the limit, the current condition of all four tyres should be checked for adequate depth and uneven wear patterns which could indicate alignment issues or worn suspension bushes.
