2010 BMW 116 2.0L Petrol · RA10 NKC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last three years. The most recent test conducted on 20 March 2024 at 120,554 miles showed no defects or advisories, indicating that the car met all standards at that time. This follows a period of clean results in 2021 and 2023, suggesting that the previous owners maintained the primary safety requirements effectively. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. Between February 2021 at 90,785 miles and March 2024 at 120,554 miles, the car covered roughly 30,000 miles, reflecting steady usage rather than erratic patterns. The brief failure in March 2022 at 103,868 miles, followed immediately by a pass on the same day, suggests a minor component-related failure that was rectified instantly rather than a systemic mechanical failure. Given the lack of recorded advisories in recent tests, a physical inspection should focus on components prone to wear at this age and mileage. The buyer should examine the suspension bushes and control arms for signs of fatigue, as the MOT does not always flag minor play until it reaches failure limits. Additionally, checking for early structural corrosion on the sills and verifying the condition of the brake calipers is advisable, as the record does not provide specific data on the state of these consumable items.
