Our Verdict
A solid consideration for high-mileage d
When inspecting this specific 1.6L diesel, focus on the high mileage relative to its age. While the MOT history is clean, a vehicle that has covered over 140,000 miles may require attention to wear-and-tear components that aren't always caught in a standard MOT, such as timing chains or suspension bushings.
Negotiate based on the mileage; although the lack of MOT failures is a positive indicator of recent compliance, the high usage suggests it has been a long-distance vehicle. Always request a documented service history to complement the MOT data, as the MOT alone does not confirm regular oil changes or mechanical upkeep.
As a 1598cc diesel, this BMW 116 is designed for efficiency on longer journeys, though tax and insurance will depend on the specific trim and driver profile. Maintenance costs for BMW parts can be higher than for non-premium brands, particularly as components reach higher mileage thresholds.
Expect typical diesel maintenance requirements, including fuel filter changes and potential DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) considerations if the car has been used for short urban trips despite its high total mileage. Annual running costs will be influenced heavily by your annual mileage and insurance group.
Given the MOT aggregate data for this model, pay close attention to the tyres, brake hoses, and headlamps, as these are the most common failure points across the wider BMW 1-series fleet. Even though this specific vehicle has no recorded defects, these areas should be checked for tread depth and wear.
With 140,607 miles on the clock, inspect the underside for any signs of fluid leaks or excessive corrosion. Check the condition of the brake discs and pads, as the MOT only records failures, not the remaining life of these consumables.
This 2014 black BMW 116 diesel has covered 140,607 miles as of its last MOT in February 2026. The vehicle has a consistent record of five consecutive MOT passes since 2022, notably with no defects recorded in any of those tests. However, the mileage is substantially higher than the model average of 7,844 miles per year.
The BMW 1-series shows an average MOT pass rate of 81.0% across 122,714 analysed vehicles, with common issues relating to tyres, brake hoses, and headlamps.
