2014 BMW 116 1.6L Petrol · FL14 OPZ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, passing its most recent inspection on 26 September 2025 at 104,723 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable as the car has consistently cleared testing without recorded advisories following previous failures. While the record shows failures in both 2024 and 2025, the subsequent passes suggest that the owner is proactive in rectifying identified defects to meet the DVSA standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per year. Between the October 2023 test at 87,572 miles and the September 2024 test at 95,494 miles, the car covered roughly 8,000 miles. Another 9,229 miles were logged before the September 2025 test. This steady usage suggests regular operation which is often beneficial for maintaining seals and mechanical components compared to vehicles subjected to long periods of standing. Despite the lack of recorded advisories in the digital history, a physical inspection should focus on high-mile components prone to wear on this specific BMW model. A buyer should check the condition of the suspension arm bushes and coil springs, as these often degrade around the 100,000-mile mark. Given the previous failures without listed defects, it is also worth verifying the brake disc thickness and checking the exhaust system for surface or structural corrosion to ensure no underlying issues remain.
