2016 BMW 116 1.5L Diesel · OS05 AMY

This vehicle presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 14 January 2026 at 77,910 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent trend of clean passes dating back to early 2023, suggesting a vehicle that is well-maintained and mechanically sound. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the car. Between 7 January 2023 and 14 January 2026, the odometer rose from 63,370 to 77,910 miles. This represents a steady usage pattern of approximately 4,800 miles per year over the last three years, which is below the overall lifetime average of 7,791 miles per year. The absence of rapid mileage spikes indicates a predictable wear cycle for the drivetrain and suspension. The MOT history is unusually sparse regarding defects. While a failure is noted on 15 January 2024 at 71,776 miles, the record shows no specific defects for that entry, and the car passed on the same day. This likely indicates a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical failure. There are no recurring mentions of corrosion, suspension bush wear, or brake disc deterioration across the five-year window. A physical inspection should focus on standard wear items that MOT testers often overlook if they meet the minimum legal threshold. Check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake pads, as the lack of advisories does not guarantee these consumables are not nearing the end of their life. Inspect the chassis for any surface corrosion that may not have reached the level of an MOT failure but could indicate the vehicle's long-term environmental exposure.
