2014 BMW 116 1.6L Petrol · FY64 ADX

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent 2026-04-10 MOT at 78,921 miles recording a pass and no defects. Subsequent tests from 2025-04-11 (75,449 miles), 2023-12-29 (69,868 miles), and 2022-09-30 (60,343 miles) also passed without issues. The absence of advisories or failures in these tests suggests consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. However, the duplicate 2022-09-30 entry—listed as both passed and failed with no defects—requires clarification, as it may indicate a data inconsistency. Mileage progression aligns with typical annual usage of ~6,577 miles, showing no abrupt spikes or extended periods of inactivity. Tests were conducted at regular intervals, with the longest gap between 2022-09-30 and 2023-12-29 (15 months), which is within acceptable limits for a vehicle of this age. The lack of recurring faults or structural issues in the record implies the owner prioritized basic upkeep, though no detailed service history is available to confirm. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushings, which are common wear points on this model. Brake discs and calipers should also be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as these can develop over time without MOT failures. Visual checks for rust on the underbody and chassis joints are advisable, as corrosion may not trigger MOT alerts until advanced. The clean MOT record reduces immediate risk, but a pre-purchase inspection remains essential to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical condition.
