2014 BMW 116 2.0L Diesel · HO11 ACT

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-04-28 at 75,784 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Previous tests from 2024-05-04 (69,801 miles) and 2023-05-09 (63,565 miles) also passed without issues, suggesting consistent upkeep. However, a failed test on 2023-05-04 at 63,554 miles—despite no defects recorded—raises questions about procedural accuracy or unreported concerns. The absence of recurring mechanical faults in subsequent tests implies no worsening issues, but the 2023 failure warrants scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 75,784 miles over 12 years equates to approximately 6,315 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. MOT tests are spaced consistently, with intervals of 10–11 months between 2022 and 2025, suggesting regular compliance. No significant gaps or rapid mileage spikes are evident, though the 2023-05-04 failure at 63,554 miles—just 11 miles before the subsequent pass—may indicate a transient issue. The lack of defects in later tests implies no persistent mechanical or structural risks, though minor wear remains plausible. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these components often degrade over time without immediate MOT failure. The exhaust system and corrosion in body panels—common in older BMWs—deserve attention, particularly around door sills and underbody areas. While the MOT history shows no critical faults, the 2023 failure and the vehicle’s age suggest a thorough pre-purchase check is prudent to confirm the absence of hidden issues affecting safety or longevity.
