2016 BMW 116 1.5L Diesel · LC66 NLT

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 15 December 2025 at 121,900 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This mirrors the outcomes of the four previous annual tests dating back to 2021, indicating a consistent standard of maintenance and a lack of recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is high for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 12,190 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady over the last five years, rising from 105,431 miles in December 2021 to 121,900 miles by December 2025. This consistent usage pattern suggests the car has been used regularly as a primary driver rather than sitting idle, which generally benefits engine health and prevents seals from perishing. Despite the clean MOT history, the high mileage necessitates a targeted physical inspection of wear-and-tear components. The record shows no failures, but MOT testers often overlook minor degradation in suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness if they meet the minimum legal threshold. A buyer should specifically check for oil leaks around the engine bay and transmission, as these often develop at this mileage without necessarily triggering an MOT failure. The absence of any advisories regarding corrosion or structural integrity is a positive indicator for a vehicle of this age. However, given the distance covered, the current state of the drivetrain and the service history for the timing chain or belt should be verified. While the DVSA data suggests a well-kept car, the mechanical reality of 121,900 miles means consumables will likely require replacement soon.
