Our Verdict
Exercise caution before purchasing this
Given the high mileage of over 130,000 miles, you should prioritise checking the full service history to see how frequently the oil and filters have been changed on this 1995cc diesel engine. Negotiate on the basis of the recent tyre issues; the 2026 MOT noted both offside front and rear tyres were worn close to the legal limit, which may indicate recent neglect or alignment issues.
Specifically, ask for evidence that the steering rack issues noted in 2022 and 2023 have been professionally addressed. You should also check the condition of the braking system, as the vehicle has a history of worn discs, thin pads, and a binding front service brake. A comprehensive pre-purchase inspection by a technician familiar with BMW diesel models is highly recommended.
As a 2.0L diesel, this BMW 116 is likely to offer decent fuel economy for motorway driving, though actual costs will depend on maintenance levels. Tax bands for 2013 models vary based on CO2 emissions, so check the specific V5C document.
Insurance groups for the 1 series are typically mid-range, and with 130,000 miles on the clock, maintenance costs may be higher due to the age and wear of components like suspension and braking systems. Expect higher-than-average annual maintenance costs due to the frequency of tyre and brake-related advisories seen in the MOT history.
Pay close attention to the steering. The MOT history shows 'play in steering rack inner bush' in 2023 and 'play in steering rack inner joint(s)' in 2022. Ensure the steering feels tight and does not wander at speed.
Inspect the tyres and wheels thoroughly. The vehicle has a recurring history of tyre-related advisories, including cuts, perishing, and being worn to the legal limit in 2025 and 2026. This could suggest issues with wheel alignment or a pattern of deferred maintenance. Additionally, test the brakes carefully to ensure the binding issue noted in 2025 and the worn discs/pads noted in 2023 and 2024 have been fully rectified.
This 2013 white BMW 116 diesel has covered 130,879 miles as of March 2026, which is significantly higher than the model average of 7,902 miles per year. The MOT history shows a pattern of tyre wear and steering rack issues, alongside brake component advisories. While it has passed its recent tests, the cumulative record indicates frequent maintenance requirements for consumables and steering parts.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 81.2% MOT pass rate, with tyres, brake hoses, and brake pads being the most common failure reasons.
