2017 BMW 116 1.5L Diesel · FP17 RFF

The 2017 BMW 116 presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 February 2026 at 126,049 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of passes across the available history. No advisories or mechanical faults appear on any certificate, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the MOT regime over the past five years. Mileage stands at 126,049 against a nine-year age, averaging roughly 14,005 miles per year, which is high for a small hatchback of this class. The records show stepped accumulation: 47,870 miles at the 1 November 2021 test, rising to 70,857 by 27 October 2022, then 96,000 on 1 November 2023, 117,158 on 25 October 2024, and 126,049 in February 2026. The early period saw around 23,000 miles per year; the later interval from late 2024 to early 2026 dropped to under 5,000 miles annually, suggesting reduced use by the last keeper. The sparse five-entry history carries no flagged corrosion, suspension wear, or brake defects at any stage. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness given the high lifetime mileage and the MOT's limited scope on component fatigue. The absence of advisories means worn tyres, wiper blades, or minor exhaust emissions drift were not noted by testers, but these consumables warrant physical verification. Structural integrity shows no recorded concern, though underside rust screening remains sensible on a high-mileage BMW of this era.
