Our Verdict

This 2017 BMW 116 diesel presents a gene

When inspecting this BMW 116, pay close attention to the front and rear tyres, as the MOT history shows a recurring pattern of tyres wearing close to the legal limit, along with instances of nails embedded in the tread from previous years. You should verify whether a comprehensive service history accompanies the vehicle, as the MOT record alone only confirms the test outcomes at specific mileage intervals. Negotiate with the seller regarding the nearside front track rod end ball joint dust cover, which was recorded as damaged or deteriorated during the July 2026 test.

Ensure all electrical systems and the 1.49.0cc diesel engine operate smoothly during a cold start and extended test drive. Check that the suspension components show no signs of premature wear beyond the noted dust cover advisory. It is also wise to inspect the wheel alignment to understand why the offside front tyre has repeatedly triggered wear advisories on past MOT tests.

Equipped with a 1496.0cc diesel engine, this BMW 116 should deliver strong fuel economy for both urban commuting and motorway cruising, aligning with typical diesel efficiency in the hatchback segment. Road tax falls under standard UK rates for vehicles registered after April 2017, and insurance groupings for the 116 variant are generally moderate compared to higher-output petrol or diesel models.

Maintenance costs will benefit from the low overall mileage of 36,198 miles, reducing the likelihood of high-mileage component failures in the near term. However, premium-brand replacement parts and specialist servicing for BMW vehicles can be higher than mainstream alternatives. Budget accordingly for routine consumable replacements such as tyres and brake components.

Examine the offside front tyre closely, as the 2023, 2024, and 2025 MOT records all noted that the tyre was worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edge, indicating a potential tracking or suspension geometry issue that should be corrected. Inspect the nearside front track rod end ball joint dust cover noted in the July 2026 test, and plan to have this replaced to prevent dirt ingress.

Review the wheel arches and underbody for any signs of corrosion or impact damage, and check the condition of the brake hoses and brake pads, which model aggregate data highlights as top MOT failure reasons for this vehicle line. Verify that all items previously noted on tests—such as foreign objects in tyres or items obstructing the driver's view—have been fully resolved.

First registered in October 2017 and finished in grey with a 1496.0cc diesel engine, this BMW 116 has recorded 36,198 miles by July 2026. The vehicle has achieved a streak of five consecutive MOT passes since 2022, though multiple advisories regarding tyre wear and minor component deterioration have been logged over the years. With an annual mileage tracking significantly below the national average for this model, it represents a lightly used example in its class.

The BMW 116 sits within a model line that achieves an average MOT pass rate of 81.2% across 122,855 analysed vehicles, with tyres, brake hoses, and brake pads forming the top failure categories.
