2014 BMW 116 2.0L Diesel · LX14 VOG

This 2014 BMW 116 has covered roughly 75,403 miles, which aligns with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age. The mileage suggests the car has been driven consistently rather than left standing for long periods, which is generally a positive sign for the health of seals, gaskets, and battery longevity. The MOT history shows a generally stable trend, with the vehicle passing its annual inspections in 2022, 2023, and 2024. While the car failed its most recent MOT in July 2025, it passed on the same day after rectifying the issues. The failure was due to a dangerous tyre defect—specifically exposed ply or cords—and a minor lighting fault. These are common maintenance items rather than indicators of systemic engine or structural failure. The recurring pattern in the history is a vulnerability to tyre-related issues. You should be aware that the 2022 MOT also flagged tyre perishing and edge wear. This suggests the vehicle may have been running on older or lower-quality rubber, or potentially that the wheel alignment has not been monitored closely enough. Overall, the vehicle’s condition appears stable, as the recent failure was resolved immediately and the previous three years were clean passes.
