2013 BMW 116 2.0L Diesel · TO11 ALX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a consistent maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted in September 2025 at 88,925 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating the car currently meets minimum legal standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2024 and 2022, suggesting that the previous owners have addressed necessary mechanical requirements effectively. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. Between December 2022 and September 2025, the car covered 12,133 miles, representing a steady usage pattern rather than long periods of neglect or heavy driving. The failure in September 2023 at 79,444 miles appears to be an isolated incident, as the vehicle passed a retest one day later, implying the owner was quick to rectify the specific fault rather than allowing a recurring mechanical issue to persist. While the recent records are clean, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related degradation on a twelve-year-old Vauxhall. Given the mileage, the suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for signs of perish or wear, as these often fail before the mileage threshold suggests. The brake discs should also be inspected for corrosion or thinning, and the structural integrity of the sills needs close verification to ensure no hidden rust has developed despite the successful MOT tests.
