2016 BMW 118 1.8L Diesel · WN16 HNO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 10 September 2025 at 134,369 miles passed without any defects or advisories. This clean result follows a consistent pattern of pass certificates over several years, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards. The mileage is high for a ten year old vehicle, averaging over 13,000 miles per year. The accumulation has been steady, increasing by 8,225 miles between September 2022 and September 2023, and 9,725 miles between September 2023 and September 2024. The most recent interval shows a slower increase of 8,217 miles. This high usage typically accelerates the wear of drivetrain components and suspension bushings. The MOT record is unusually clean for a high mileage BMW, with no recorded advisories for brake disc thickness, tyre tread, or suspension wear across five tests. The failure on 15 September 2023 was resolved instantly at the same mileage, though the record does not specify the fault. Such a lack of documented wear items over 26,000 miles suggests either a very rigorous preventative maintenance regime or a tester who has been lenient with minor consumables. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that often degrade at this mileage but have not appeared in the MOT history. Check for oil leaks around the engine seals and inspect the condition of the shock absorbers for leaks or perished rubbers. Given the age and mileage, a thorough check for underside corrosion and the condition of the brake calipers is recommended to ensure no binding is present.
