2013 BMW 116 2.0L Diesel · OX57 DOM

This vehicle presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 17 October 2025 at 71,871 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent trend of clean passes dating back to September 2022, suggesting a high standard of mechanical upkeep and a lack of recurring faults. The mileage is low for a thirteen year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,529 miles per year. The record shows a steady increase in usage, moving from 45,585 miles in September 2022 to 71,871 miles by October 2025. The jump of over 8,000 miles between October 2023 and October 2024 indicates a period of more frequent use, but the lack of resulting defects suggests the car handled the increased load without issue. A strange entry appears on 15 October 2024, where the car failed and passed on the same day at 63,679 miles. Since no defects were listed for either entry, this likely represents a clerical error or a minor administrative correction rather than a mechanical failure. The absence of any advisories regarding brake discs, suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions over the last four tests is unusual for a car of this age and implies a diligent maintenance regime. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that MOT testers often overlook or that degrade during periods of low usage. Check for perishing rubber seals and the condition of the tyre sidewalls to ensure they have not aged out despite having legal tread. Inspect the brake calipers for sticking and check the oil for signs of moisture, which can occur if the vehicle spent long periods standing between its low-mileage journeys.
