2014 BMW 116 1.6L Petrol · RO64 FGK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent passing record over the last five years. The most recent test in September 2025 at 55,930 miles resulted in a pass with only a minor advisory regarding the nearside front outer tyre. The lack of mechanical or structural failures across the recorded history suggests that the core components of the BMW 116 have remained in a functional state despite the low annual usage. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,660 miles per year. The data shows consistent, incremental growth, such as the 3,235 miles driven between the September 2024 and September 2025 tests. This pattern typically indicates less wear on the drivetrain and engine compared to high-mileage examples, though low-mileage can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components like bushings and brake seals if the car sits for extended periods between journeys. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension geometry, as recurring advisories for worn tyre edges in both 2021 and 2025 indicate a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. The 2021 test flagged three tyres as reaching the legal limit, suggesting the previous owner may have deferred maintenance until strictly necessary. Given the age and the low mileage, a thorough check for corrosion on the brake discs and underbody structural points is essential, as these areas often age through oxidation even when the vehicle is not driven frequently.
