2012 BMW 116 2.0L Diesel · LO12 AEJ

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 18 June 2026 at 153,894 miles, with only an advisory for rear tyre wear close to the legal limit. Looking back, the car has shown a pattern of intermittent engine management light faults and occasional suspension component advisories, but each failure has been cleared before the next pass, indicating a stable rather than worsening condition. Recorded mileage rises from 51,031 miles in May 2015 to 153,894 miles in June 2026, averaging about 11,000 miles per year, which is typical for a 14‑year‑old BMW. MOT entries are spaced roughly twelve months apart, showing consistent use without long periods of inactivity or sudden mileage spikes. A prospective buyer should verify that the engine management light illuminates correctly at start‑up and extinguishes after a few seconds, check the front anti‑roll bar linkages for intact dust covers, and examine the rear shock absorbers for any signs of oil leakage. Inspect the rear tyres for tread depth and edge wear, and look over the suspension bushes and brake components for excessive wear or corrosion.
