2010 BMW 116 2.0L Diesel · LS60 WEA

The 2025‑07‑02 MOT at 155,793 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance record, as the preceding 2024‑07‑01 test at 151,653 miles also passed defect‑free. The mileage progression shows a steady increase of roughly 4,154 miles per annum between 2022 and 2025, aligning with the typical 9,737 miles per year for a 16‑year‑old vehicle, and the annual testing interval suggests consistent use without prolonged standing periods. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension components flagged in 2023 – the near‑side and off‑side rear upper suspension arm pins or bushes – and verify their condition, while also checking the near‑side rear shock absorbers for oil misting and the headlamp aim, which was noted as high in the 2023 failure; inspection of brake wear, tyre tread and any signs of structural rust or corrosion on the chassis is also advisable.
