2008 BMW 116 1.6L Petrol · SL58 XPV

The 2025‑11‑18 MOT at 111,663 miles passed with no defects, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable trend. The 2024‑11‑21 failure at the same mileage listed no defects, a discrepancy that does not alter the overall stability indicated by the subsequent pass. Mileage has risen from 98,919 miles in November 2022 to 111,663 miles by November 2025, an average of about 6,200 miles per year, matching the typical usage for a 18‑year‑old car and showing no abrupt jumps or extended periods of inactivity. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or cracking, examine the brake discs and calipers for binding or excessive wear, check the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust, verify the condition of the exhaust system and emissions output, and assess tyre tread depth and wiper blade condition, as these components commonly deteriorate with age despite the clean MOT history. While the recent pass suggests the car is presently fit to drive, the absence of recorded faults does not guarantee the absence of hidden wear, so a comprehensive physical inspection is essential before purchase.
