2014 BMW 316 1.6L Petrol · LL14 KTC

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a passed MOT on 27 June 2025 at 103,746 miles. The maintenance trend appears largely stable, though the most recent test revealed a specific mechanical failure that required attention. The tester identified imbalanced rear brakes across the second axle, which was subsequently rectified to achieve the passing result. Prior to this failure, the vehicle maintained a clean record across three consecutive annual testing cycles. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per year. Between July 2022 at 84,262 miles and June 2025 at 103,746 miles, the car covered roughly 20,000 miles, indicating steady operational schedule. This regular use suggests the vehicle has not been subject to long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for maintaining seals and preventing internal components from seizing due to lack of movement. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the braking system to ensure the imbalance noted in June 2025 was fully resolved and is not a symptom of a sticking caliper or corroded pipes. Given the age and mileage, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and control arm bushings is necessary, as these components are common points of wear on this chassis. While the record does not currently flag structural corrosion, a visual inspection of the underside for surface rust remains a standard requirement for a BMW of this era.
