2010 BMW 116 2.0L Diesel · PE60 AOK

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a slight shift toward reactive maintenance regarding basic consumables. The most recent test in July 2025 at 113,578 miles passed, but introduced advisories for the nearside front outer tyre being worn to the legal limit and showing signs of perishing or cracking. This marks a departure from the clean records seen in 2023 and 2024, suggesting a lapse in routine inspections prior to the annual test. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,100 miles per year. Between June 2022 and July 2025, the car covered 15,694 miles, indicating a steady usage profile rather than erratic bursts or long periods of neglect. This consistent mileage is generally beneficial for mechanical components like seals and gaskets, though the total distance of 113,578 miles places the vehicle at a stage where rubber component wear and age-related degradation are common in older BMW models. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the 2025 advisory regarding uneven tyre wear can indicate worn bushes or misaligned control arms. The exhaust system leak noted in 2022 at 97,884 miles should be re-checked to ensure the flexible section was properly replaced and not suffered further corrosion. Given the 2023 failure for headlamp aim and washer fluid issues, verifying the functionality of the lighting and the integrity of the washer pump is essential to ensure these minor faults have been permanently resolved.
