2015 BMW 116 1.5L Diesel · LR65 CHZ

This BMW 116 has maintained an unblemished MOT record over its recent history, with the most recent test on 25 November 2025 at 95,179 miles showing no advisories or defects. The trend is stable, with consistent annual testing and no evidence of recurring issues, structural corrosion, or mechanical failures. The absence of even minor advisories—such as tyre wear, fluid leaks, or suspension wear—suggests either meticulous maintenance by previous owners or a vehicle that has been driven lightly enough to avoid common wear points. For a car of this age and mileage, this level of cleanliness is unusual, implying either a well-documented service history or a model less prone to early failure. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for its age, averaging around 8,653 miles per year over the past decade. There are no sudden spikes or prolonged gaps that might indicate neglect or heavy use; the intervals between tests remain consistent, with roughly 13,000–14,000 miles covered annually between each MOT. The last recorded mileage at 95,179 in late 2025 suggests the car has not been driven aggressively, as the average annual mileage aligns with moderate urban/commuter use rather than high-performance or commercial operation. Given the complete absence of MOT advisories or defects, a prospective buyer should still verify a few critical areas in person. While the MOT history is flawless, suspension components—such as control arm bushes, coil springs, and ball joints —should be checked for wear, as these are not always caught in standard MOT tests. Similarly, brake calipers, pads, and discs should be inspected for uneven wear or corrosion, even though no binding or excessive wear was noted. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and subframe mounts , should be scrutinised for hidden corrosion, as BMW models of this era can develop rust in high-stress areas despite passing MOTs. Finally, exhaust emissions and DPF health (if fitted) should be monitored, as these systems can degrade without immediate MOT consequences but may lead to costly failures later.
