2010 BMW 116 1.6L Petrol · LD60 ABN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a recent history of successful inspections. The most recent test on 6 March 2024 at 91,062 miles required only a minor repair to a nearside dipped beam headlamp to secure a pass. This follows a period of clean results between 2018 and 2020, suggesting that the vehicle has moved past the more frequent component failures seen in its earlier years. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2010 model, averaging approximately 5,691 miles per year. The data shows consistent, gradual usage rather than long periods of stagnation. Between the 2022 test at 78,756 miles and the 2024 test at 91,062 miles, the car covered 12,286 miles, indicating a slight increase in recent usage compared to the previous years. This low annual mileage often implies less mechanical wear on the drivetrain, though it can sometimes lead to surface corrosion on braking components if the vehicle sits idle for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyre condition. The record shows a recurring pattern of neglected consumables, specifically brake pads and discs, which were flagged as thin or corroded in the 2016 and 2017 tests. While the 2024 record is clean, the history of worn pads and corroded discs suggests that maintenance on these items has occasionally been reactive rather than proactive. The 2017 failure, which noted multiple tyres with exposed cords, indicates a past period of poor tyre management that should be checked for current quality. The presence of under-trays and engine covers was noted as an obstruction during several tests, including 2013 and 2017. These components can hide leaks or early signs of structural corrosion. Given the age of the vehicle and the history of brake and tyre issues, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, brake lines, and the underside for any signs of mounting rust is advisable to ensure the vehicle remains in its current stable condition.
