2016 BMW 225 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · YA16 JBV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available testing history. The most recent inspection conducted on 13 March 2025 at 94,701 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. Although the record shows a failure on that same date with no defects listed, this likely indicates an administrative error or a re-test that was rectified immediately without significant mechanical failure reported. Since the February 2023 test, the car has maintained a consistent passing record without recurring advisories. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per annum. There is a notable period of activity between February 2023 (61,362 miles) and February 2024 (76,336 miles), where the car covered over 15,000 miles in twelve months. Usage has slowed since, with 13,725 miles covered between September 2024 and March 2025. This suggests regular operational use which is generally beneficial for maintaining seals and preventing the degradation of rubber components from long stationary periods. Because the MOT history is clean of advisories, the record does not highlight specific recurring weaknesses like suspension bushes or brake corrosion. A buyer should still manually inspect the condition of the coil springs and control arms, as these often show signs of wear and tear near the 100,000-mile mark. Check the brake discs for thinning and inspect the calipers for any signs of leaking, as the MOT only tests for functional efficiency rather than the overall condition of the braking system.
