2011 BMW 116 2.0L Diesel · SA11 ABV

The vehicle appears mechanically stable based on the available records, though the MOT history is severely outdated. The most recent pass occurred on 17 October 2022 at 109,735 miles. Because there are no recorded entries for nearly four years leading up to July 2026, the current roadworthiness cannot be verified. The lack of defects across all passed tests suggests a historically well-maintained car, but the long period of inactivity or undocumented use creates a significant data gap. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age. It covered 15,725 miles between September 2020 and October 2022, averaging roughly 8,000 miles per year. This indicates typical usage for a 2011 model. The records show a pattern of immediate re-tests following failures in October 2021 and October 2022, although the lack of listed defects for those failures is unusual and suggests minor administrative errors or very quick rectifications of trivial items. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection to compensate for the four-year gap in testing. Priority should be given to checking for perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which degrade during long periods of standing. The braking system requires a full check for binding calipers or pitted brake discs due to oxidation. Given the age of this BMW, a detailed inspection for structural corrosion on the chassis and sills is essential. The absence of recorded advisories in the past does not guarantee current integrity. A professional should verify the condition of the cooling system and oil leaks, as these are common failure points for this engine that may have developed since the last recorded test in 2022.
