2020 BMW 116 1.5L Diesel · LC70 WZB

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a pass on 15 June 2026 at 77,601 miles. While the vehicle remains roadworthy, the maintenance trend shows signs of declining attention toward consumable items. The most recent test flagged multiple tyre issues, including the nearside front tyre being worn close to the legal limit and showing signs of cracking or perishing. Both front tyres exhibited damage or perishing, suggesting that the previous owner has allowed tyre life to reach its absolute limit before replacement. The mileage accumulation indicates heavy usage for a 2020 model. The vehicle covered 18,465 miles between the November 2023 test and the June 2026 test. The current reading of 77,601 miles averages roughly 12,934 miles per year, which is high for this age group. This consistent, high-frequency usage places more significant stress on mechanical components such as the suspension, drivetrain, and braking systems compared to lower-mileage examples. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front tyres and wheels. The January 2025 test at 70,727 miles identified a slightly distorted nearside front outer road wheel, which warrants a check for any ongoing vibration or alignment issues. The history also shows a failure in November 2023 at 52,262 miles due to a damaged or deteriorated offside front engine mounting. Although this was rectified to achieve a pass, the mounting should be inspected for current stability and excessive engine movement. Given the recurring tyre defects and the high annual mileage, a close examination of the suspension bushes and steering components is advisable. The tendency to run tyres to the legal limit suggests that other preventative maintenance tasks might have been deferred. Checking the condition of the brake discs and pads is essential to ensure they have not been subjected to excessive wear from the higher-than-average driving distances.
