2021 BMW 116 1.5L Diesel · FG71 SSZ

The 2021 BMW 116 remains roadworthy, as both the October 2025 test at 28,323 miles and the October 2024 test at 16,587 miles recorded zero defects. The consistent pass rate demonstrates a stable maintenance trend with no evidence of worsening or improving mechanical condition. The mileage pattern shows a modest annual average of roughly 5,600 miles for a five‑year‑old vehicle, yet the interval between the 2024 and 2025 tests saw an increase of 11,736 miles, indicating heightened usage over the past year while the earlier period displayed a slower accumulation. No significant gaps appear in the record, and the low overall mileage for its age suggests lighter use or extended periods of standing. A buyer should therefore scrutinise the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, examine the brake discs and calipers for binding or excessive wear, and inspect the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust or corrosion, as these components are prone to deterioration even when MOT records show no defects.
