2009 BMW 116 2.0L Petrol · SP59 YWT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent inspection data. The test conducted on 3 April 2025 at 93,195 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure on the same day. This pattern suggests that while minor issues occasionally arise, the owner addresses them immediately to ensure compliance. The lack of recurring advisories across the last three years indicates the vehicle is currently being maintained to a functional standard. At 93,195 miles, this 17-year-old BMW has averaged approximately 5,482 miles per year. The mileage data shows relatively consistent usage patterns, with roughly 16,000 miles covered between March 2023 and April 2024, followed by approximately 13,700 miles between April 2024 and April 2025. This low-mileage profile typically reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, though the age of the vehicle increases the risk of dry rot in rubber components and age-related fluid degradation regardless of the distance travelled. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related failure despite the low mileage. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the chassis for corrosion on the sills and wheel arches is essential, as the MOT only detects structural rust. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracks or sagging, which become brittle over long periods of standing. While the MOT record shows no brake defects, checking for seized calipers or heavily pitted discs remains advisable for a car that sits frequently.
