2014 BMW 116 2.0L Diesel · HJ64 PNV

The 2014 BMW 116 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 21 November 2025 at 86,050 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from November 2022 to November 2024 also passed cleanly. The only anomaly appears on 10 November 2022, where the vehicle failed and then passed on the same day at 66,781 miles with no defects listed, indicating a likely administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage averages around 7,171 miles, which is typical for a twelve-year-old car. The records show steady annual accumulation: 66,781 miles in November 2022, 73,153 in November 2023, 79,400 in November 2024, and 86,050 in November 2025. No gaps or sudden spikes exist in the data. The clean advisory history across all entries suggests the previous keeper kept on top of consumables and avoided letting minor wear escalate into flagged defects. Given the absence of any recorded advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions, the structural and mechanical baseline looks sound. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the coil springs, subframe, and brake calipers, as MOT passes with no defects do not capture wear below test thresholds. The same-day fail and pass in November 2022 warrants a check of the DVSA failure reason code to rule out a documentation error. The vehicle's low defect profile and consistent yearly testing imply disciplined ownership. At 86,050 miles the drivetrain remains within reasonable bounds for the model. Verify service history matches the recorded mileages before purchase, but the MOT evidence alone shows no worsening trend or recurring fault pattern.
