2021 BMW 116 1.5L Diesel · LB21 KHC

The 2021 BMW 116 presents a stable and clean maintenance trend, reflecting a vehicle that has been kept in sound mechanical order. The most recent MOT test on 11 March 2025 at 40,470 miles passed without any recorded defects or advisories. This outcome demonstrates that the car met all required structural, mechanical, and exhaust emissions standards at that mileage. A clean pass with no advisories suggests the previous owner addressed any minor wear items proactively before the test. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. Between the 6 March 2024 test at 29,571 miles and the 11 March 2025 test at 40,470 miles, the car covered 10,899 miles over a twelve-month period. This equates to an annual average of roughly 8,094 miles across its five-year lifespan, which sits squarely within normal parameters. There are no alarming gaps in the testing history or sudden spikes in mileage that would suggest prolonged standing or excessively harsh use. The record remains sparse, consisting of only two entries, but it is entirely unblemished. Despite the unblemished MOT record, a physical inspection remains essential to verify the current condition of consumable and structural components. With 40,470 miles on the clock, buyers should closely examine the tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, as well as the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or lipping. The suspension bushes and coil springs warrant attention for any deterioration or corrosion, particularly given the vehicle's age. While the MOT history flags no recurring mechanical faults, checking the exhaust system for corrosion and ensuring the calipers operate without binding will confirm the car has continued to be maintained to a high standard since its last test four months ago.
