2017 BMW 116 1.5L Diesel · LC17 SXU

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT pass results. The most recent inspection conducted on 23 January 2026 at 106,369 miles resulted in no recorded defects. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have proactively maintained the vehicle to meet DVSA standards without triggering the mechanical or structural failures that typically appear at this age. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,800 miles per annum. Between February 2022 at 56,893 miles and January 2026 at 106,369 miles, the car covered 49,476 miles, representing a steady usage pattern of roughly 12,300 miles per year. There are no significant gaps or long periods of stationary time that suggest the vehicle has been used regularly, which is generally beneficial for engine seals and brake components to prevent corrosion or seizing associated with inactivity. While the MOT record shows no recurring advisories, a buyer should still focus on specific high-wear areas common to this model at the 100,000-mile threshold. Physical inspection should target the suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs for signs of rubber degradation or fatigue despite the clean history. Given the mileage, checking the condition of the brake discs for thinning and ensuring the calipers are not binding is advisable, as the MOT only tests for functional efficiency rather than the remaining life of the components.
