2013 BMW 116 1.6L Petrol · TX02 MAS

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on its consistent MOT history. The most recent test on 22 July 2025 at 72,338 miles resulted in zero defects, indicating that the mechanical components and structural integrity currently meet all DVSA safety standards. This clean record across the last five tests suggests a stable maintenance trend where the owner proactively addressed issues before they escalated into failures. The mileage pattern is notably low for a thirteen-year-old BMW, averaging approximately 5,564 miles per year. There is a distinct period of low use between August 2021 and July 2022, where the car covered only 1,245 miles in eleven months. Since the 2022 test, usage has increased steadily, covering roughly 9,000 to 10,000 miles annually to reach the current 72,338 miles. This low annual accumulation suggests the vehicle has not suffered heavy strain, which often preserves the drivetrain components compared to high-mileage examples. While the record shows no recurring advisories, a buyer must still inspect for signs of degradation associated with low-mileage vehicles. Long periods of standing can lead to perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes or seized brake calipers. The physical inspection should focus on checking tyres for cracks and examining the brake discs for surface corrosion, as these issues often stem from age rather than distance. Given the age of the car, verifying the underbody for structural rust is also a necessary step to ensure the low mileage has not masked hidden environmental damage.
