2010 BMW 116 2.0L Petrol · LS60 WDW

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a clear pattern of reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test in September 2025 at 80,728 miles passed with only minor cosmetic advisories regarding a discoloured indicator and a worn nearside rear tyre. This follows a more problematic period in October 2024 where the car initially failed due to multiple tyre defects and incorrect headlamp aim, indicating that the current owner only addresses faults once they reach a failure threshold. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 80,728 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent but infrequent usage, with roughly 6,000 miles covered between September 2023 and October 2024, and another 2,400 miles covered in the final year. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain, it often leads to the degradation of rubber components, which is consistent with the corroded brake discs and worn suspension bushes noted in the history. A buyer must prioritise inspecting the suspension system, as the 2023 test flagged a worn offside rear upper suspension arm bush. The recurring issues with tyres worn on the edges across 2024 and 2025 suggest potential alignment problems or worn shock absorbers that remain unaddressed. Additionally, the front brake discs were noted as pitted and scored in 2024; given the vehicle's low mileage, these components likely suffered from surface corrosion during periods of inactivity rather than mechanical fatigue.
