2010 BMW 116 2.0L Petrol · ML60 KYS

The vehicle presents a stable level of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean MOT passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 30 August 2024 at 59,371 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This streak of perfect results suggests that the previous owners maintained the mechanical and safety systems to a high standard, avoiding any recorded failures during the testing process. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,711 miles per year. Between August 2020 and August 2024, the car covered only 15,225 miles, indicating it was likely used for short-distance trips or remained stationary for significant periods between tests. While this low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk associated with the degradation of rubber-based parts and fluids due to age rather than use. Because the MOT record shows no history of mechanical issues, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to low-mileage neglect. Check the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and rubber seals, which can dry out and crack over time regardless of miles driven. Given the long intervals between use, inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure the calipers are not seized. Additionally, verify the structural integrity of the chassis for hidden rust, as the MOT test does not always uncover deep corrosion in underbody areas.
