Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those seeking a
When inspecting this specific black 1.5L diesel, pay close attention to the tyre condition. The MOT history for OW15RVY shows a recurring theme of tyres being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges (noted in 2023 and 2026). Ensure the current set has ample tread and that the alignment is correct to prevent uneven wear.
Given the 2026 advisory regarding the front brake disc, you should check the remaining thickness of the discs and the quality of the brake pads. While the 2025 and 2024 tests showed no defects, the recent appearance of wear items suggests it is time to verify if a recent service has been performed to address these consumable components.
As a 1496cc diesel, this BMW 116 is designed for efficiency, making it suitable for longer motorway commutes. You should check the specific Euro emissions standard to determine its suitability for Ultra Low Emission Zones (ULEZ) or Clean Air Zones.
Maintenance costs for this model typically involve regular servicing of the diesel engine and monitoring of the braking system, which has appeared in recent MOT records. Expect typical insurance groups for a premium hatchback and standard diesel fuel costs. Estimated annual running costs are moderate, depending heavily on annual mileage.
Focus your inspection on the tyres and braking components. The MOT history specifically flags issues with nearside front and rear tyres, as well as offside front and rear tyres in previous years. Check for any signs of uneven wear which could indicate suspension or alignment issues.
Additionally, inspect the front brake discs, as the 2026 MOT noted they were worn. Check for any scoring or excessive thinning. While the model aggregate data lists brake hoses as a top failure reason, this specific vehicle has not recorded any hose failures, but it remains a prudent area to inspect during a physical viewing.
This 2015 BMW 116 diesel presents with 60,939 miles, which is notably lower than the model average of 7,850 miles per year for its age. The MOT history is largely clean, with the most recent 2026 test recording minor wear on tyres and brake discs. While there have been intermittent advisories regarding tyre tread and edges, the vehicle has passed every annual test since 2022.
Based on an aggregate of 122,736 vehicles, this model has an 81.0% average MOT pass rate, with common issues relating to tyres, brake hoses, and headlamps.
