2016 BMW 116 1.5L Diesel · Y7 MXN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection in January 2026 at 90,923 miles resulted in a pass with only a minor advisory regarding a nearside front tyre showing slight cracking or perishing. This indicates that the primary mechanical and safety components have met minimum standards recently, and no recurring mechanical failures or structural defects have emerged across the last four testing cycles. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a decade-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. Between January 2022 test at 76,598 miles and January 2026 at 90,923 miles, the car covered 14,325 miles, suggesting steady annual use rather than long periods of neglect or heavy motorway commuting. The 7,000-mile gap between the 2025 and 2026 tests shows a predictable usage rate that helps prevent seals and components from drying out. While the MOT record is clean, a buyer should focus on the physical condition of rubber components that age over time regardless of mileage. The advisory for the nearside front tyre in early 2026 suggests that age-related perishation is beginning to occur, which warrants an inspection of all other tyres and suspension bushes for cracks or dry rot. Given that no brake or suspension issues were flagged in the previous years, a physical check for brake caliper binding or corrosion on the control arms remains advisable to ensure no hidden wear has developed since the last test.
