2009 BMW 116 2.0L Petrol · KP09 MXS

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, showing a stable maintenance trend despite minor recurring issues. The most recent test in July 2025 at 111,297 miles resulted in a pass with an advisory for a deteriorated nearside front brake hose. This represents an improvement over the June 2024 period where the car failed due to a non-functional windscreen washer, suggesting the owner is willing to rectify immediate failures to maintain legal compliance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. There is a significant gap in recorded data between July 2021 and June 2024, during which the car covered only 81 miles over a three-year period. Since then, the vehicle has covered over 5,500 miles, indicating a return to regular use. This low annual mileage limits wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but long periods of standing often lead to the degradation of rubber components and seals, which aligns with the recorded faults. A physical inspection should focus on the braking system and fluid lines, given the deterioration noted on the brake hose in 2025. The tester also noted a non-excessive oil leak in 2019, so a buyer must check the engine block and sump area to ensure this has not worsened over time. Because of the vehicle's age and history of intermittent use, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and bushings is essential, as these parts are prone to age-related cracking regardless of the miles driven.
