2012 BMW 116 2.0L Diesel · FG62 JVD

The BMW 116 presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent DVLA MOT test conducted on 4 November 2022 at 80,221 miles, where it passed with no defects recorded. The single clean pass indicates no worsening or recurring fault trend across the available history. Given the absence of any advisories or failures, the maintenance picture appears sound for that test point, though the record covers only one entry. The odometer read 80,221 miles at the November 2022 test, equating to roughly 5,730 miles per year across the vehicle's fourteen years. This is low mileage for a 2012 hatchback and suggests light use or extended standing periods rather than high motorway load. The history shows no earlier tests, so we cannot chart accumulation or gaps; the sparse record limits judgement on prior owner care, but the lone clean pass implies basic upkeep was not neglected at that stage. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion, particularly on sills and subframes, since long standing invites hidden rust the 2022 test did not flag. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant physical checks for age-related degradation unseen in the record. Verify the tyres, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions match road legal limits before purchase. Given the test is over three years old relative to today's date of 8 July 2026, the vehicle requires a fresh MOT before any sale completes. The 80,221-mile figure may be the last recorded reading; confirm no unlogged mileage has accrued since.
