2010 BMW 116 2.0L Diesel · FL60 HFS

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy status following a pass on 20 January 2026 at 124,118 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test came just three days after a failure on 17 January 2026 at the same mileage, though the DVSA record lists no defects for either event. This pattern repeats an earlier sequence where a failure on 20 December 2024 at 117,099 miles preceded a pass on 16 January 2025 at 117,180 miles, again with no defects logged. Such back-to-back fail-and-pass entries with blank defect fields suggest administrative or presentation anomalies in the record rather than confirmed mechanical faults. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 2010 car, averaging roughly 7,757 miles per year against the 124,118 miles recorded. The gap between the 21 December 2023 test at 110,162 miles and the 20 December 2024 failure at 117,099 miles shows about 6,937 miles covered, then only 81 miles to the January 2025 pass. From January 2025 to January 2026 the odometer added 6,938 miles. The data is sparse and clean on advisories, with no corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions concerns ever flagged across the five entries. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and consumable wear despite the absent advisories. The recurring same-mileage fail-pass pairs on 17 to 20 January 2026 and 20 December 2024 to 16 January 2025 warrant verification that no binding calipers, coil springs, or hidden corrosion were omitted by the tester. Given the car is sixteen years old, check underneath for chassis rust and examine tyre tread and wiper blades for age-related perishing even though the MOT logged none.
