2014 BMW 116 1.6L Petrol · ST14 KXU

The 2014 BMW 116 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 1 August 2025 at 109,448 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results since the summer of 2023. The owner has clearly kept the car to a standard that satisfies annual statutory inspection without advisories. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,100 miles, typical for a twelve-year-old vehicle of this class. The records show measured use: 73,875 miles in July 2022, 88,368 miles by August 2023, 101,956 miles in August 2024, and 109,448 miles in August 2025. The largest single-year movement was the 14,493 miles added between July 2022 and August 2023, after which annual accumulation settled to around 12,000 to 13,500 miles. No standing periods or missing test years appear in the data. The only blemish is a failed test on 28 July 2023 at 88,286 miles, cleared and passed just six days later on 3 August 2023 at 88,368 miles with no defects listed on either entry. This suggests a minor administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a structural or emissions fault, though the sparse defect text means the exact cause is undocumented. No recurring suspension, brake, corrosion, or exhaust issues emerge across the five tests. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of consumable items not captured by a clean MOT, namely brake disc thickness, suspension bush condition, and underbody corrosion around structural mounting points. The absence of advisories across four consecutive passes indicates sound upkeep, but at 109,448 miles the dampers, coil springs, and tyres warrant physical verification before purchase.
