2012 BMW 116 1.6L Petrol · SB12 USY

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 24 November 2025 at 93,426 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of five consecutive years of clean passes, indicating a high standard of preventative maintenance and a lack of recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a 14 year old car. Between the November 2021 test at 74,741 miles and the November 2025 test at 93,426 miles, the vehicle covered 18,685 miles. This averages roughly 4,671 miles per year over the last four years, suggesting the car is used regularly but not excessively. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would indicate periods of neglect or sudden heavy commercial use. While the MOT history is remarkably clean, the absence of advisories over five years is unusual for a vehicle of this age. A buyer should still physically inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing or hairline cracks, as these rubber and steel components degrade regardless of test outcomes. Checking for underside corrosion, particularly around the sills and suspension mounting points, is prudent given the age of the chassis. The lack of flagged brake wear or tyre tread issues in the records suggests a diligent owner, but a manual check of the brake discs for lip wear and the tyres for uneven wear patterns is recommended. This will confirm if the vehicle has been maintained to a professional standard beyond the minimum requirements of the annual MOT test.
