2010 BMW 116 2.0L Diesel · MT10 LDZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a reactive approach rather than preventative护理. While it passed its most recent test in November 2025, it failed just one mile prior due to illegal tyre tread depths on the rear axle. This pattern suggests that the owner only addresses critical safety defects once they trigger an MOT failure, which can lead to components being run to their absolute limit before replacement. The' pattern is consistent with a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap of roughly 6,400 miles between December 2024 and November 2025, and another 4,800 miles between December 2023 and December 2024. This steady accumulation indicates the car is used regularly for commuting rather than sitting idle, which explains the gradual wear on rubber components and braking hardware noted in the history. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension, as the upper arm bushes and pins were flagged for wear in late 2024. The history also highlights a recurring issue with neglected brake maintenance, with multiple notices for thin pads and worn or pitted discs on both the front and rear axles. It is essential to verify the current state of the tyres and alignment, as the most recent failure involved uneven wear on the offside rear tyre which could indicate an alignment issue or worn suspension geometry.
