2016 BMW 218 2.0L Diesel · RA66 DFJ

The vehicle's MOT history shows a stable trend of passing tests over the last four years, though a failure occurred in early 2025. The most recent test on 15 January 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a failure on 09 January 2025, although the specific nature of that failure was not documented in the provided record. Since that failure, the vehicle has cleared the testing process without further advisories or defects. The recorded mileage of 72,901 miles for a 2016 model indicates an average annual usage of approximately 7,290 miles. This pattern suggests consistent, relatively low-intensity use rather than heavy motorway mileage or excessive short-trip urban driving. The MOT records provide a consistent annual snapshot from 2022 through 2025, showing no significant gaps in testing intervals. Because the 2025 failure did not specify the defect, a physical inspection is required to identify what caused the initial non-compliance. A buyer should specifically check the braking system for binding calipers or worn discs and inspect the suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, for signs of degradation. While the recent pass shows no immediate issues, the lack of detail regarding the January 2025 failure means verifying the condition of consumables and structural integrity remains necessary. buying_score: 75 risk_level: Low.
