2016 BMW 116 1.5L Diesel · M123 ABL

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a clean MOT history over the last five years. The most recent test conducted in October 2025 at 62,966 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical and safety components met all regulatory standards. This stable trend suggests a proactive approach to maintenance where issues are addressed before they result in a test failure. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. Between September 2021 at 49,923 miles and October 2025 at 62,966 miles, the car covered 13,043 miles, showing steady and predictable usage patterns. This low annual mileage typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain and braking system, though it can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components if the vehicle sits for long periods without use. While the digital record shows no structural or mechanical failures, a physical inspection should still focus on age-related wear that MOT tests do not always capture. Given the age of the BMW, inspect the rubber suspension bushes for cracking and check brake discs for surface corrosion despite the low mileage. Ensure there are no fluid leaks from the engine bay, as the clean test history implies the vehicle has been well-kept by its previous owners.
