2015 BMW 116 1.5L Diesel · GC65 VCD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on 9 September 2025 at 79,452 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, despite a minor failure occurring just one day prior. The tester flagged both the nearside and offside rear brake cables as insecure, a fault that was rectified immediately to achieve the pass. This suggests the owner is responsive to safety-critical defects once identified. At 11 years old with nearly 79,452 recorded miles, the car averages approximately 7,200 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a premium hatchback. The record shows consistent annual testing intervals, with roughly 8,000 miles covered between September 2023 and 2024, and another 11,000 between 2024 and 2025. This steady progression indicates the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stationary neglect which often leads to rubber degradation or internal corrosion in braking components. A buyer should perform a thorough physical inspection of the rear braking assembly to ensure the cables are now properly secured and free from signs of excessive play or corrosion. Given the stone damage noted on the windscreen in September 2024 at 68,548 miles, check the glass for further cracks that may have developed since that advisory. While the history shows no structural issues or recurring mechanical failures, verifying the condition of suspension bushes and tyre tread remains standard practice for a BMW of this age and mileage to ensure no hidden wear has accumulated.
