2014 BMW 116 1.6L Petrol · SA64 AEM

The 2014 BMW 116 presents as roadworthy following its most recent October 2025 test at 91,911 miles, which returned a pass with no defects logged. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the three years of records, with each annual examination clearing the vehicle on consumables and structural checks alike. A buyer should note the odd administrative pattern: the car failed and passed on the same day at both the 2024 and 2025 tests, with no defects recorded on either attempt, pointing to paperwork or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at a typical 7,659 per year against the car's twelve-year life, with the record showing 64,382 miles in November 2023, 76,632 in November 2024, and 91,911 by October 2025. That spread confirms steady, moderate use rather than long standing or harsh high-mileage accumulation. The DVSA data is sparse and clean, carrying no advisories on tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, exhaust emissions, or corrosion across any entry, so the history alone gives no warning of deferred upkeep. Given the absence of flagged wear in the official record, a viewing should still verify items the MOT does not deeply probe. Inspect coil springs and suspension arms for fatigue, check brake calipers for binding after a road test, and examine sills and subframes for structural rust that a clean pass may miss on a lighter visual check. The same-day fail-pass pairs warrant a request for the full test certificates, to confirm no concealed minor defect was quietly corrected before the pass was issued.
