2015 BMW 116 1.6L Petrol · WM15 FDK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in August 2025 at 71,663 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a shift from a clean history to more frequent consumable issues. While the most recent test identified a minor sidewall tear on the nearside rear tyre, the lack of mechanical or structural failures suggests that the core components have remained functional under current usage levels. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. Between August 2022 and August 2025, the car covered 16,561 miles, representing a steady usage profile rather than long periods of neglect or rapid high-intensity driving. This low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though the age of the vehicle means that age-related degradation of rubber components, such as bushings and seals, may still be a factor regardless of the low odometer reading. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension geometry and alignment during a physical inspection. The August 2024 test flagged both front tyres as worn to the legal limit and on edge, which often indicates an alignment issue or worn control arm bushes. Furthermore, with the recent sidewall damage noted in 2025, a thorough check of all remaining tyres is necessary to ensure no structural damage is present. Since no structural corrosion or brake failures were recorded in the history, the focus should remain on the condition of the rubber components and the integrity of the underbody mentioned mentioned in the latest test.
