2014 BMW 116 1.6L Petrol · YB14 VXT

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 11 July 2026 at 31,915 miles, but the front brake system remains a persistent concern. Front brake pads were flagged as wearing thin for the third consecutive test, while the front discs have shown wear, pitting, or scoring since 2025 without significant deterioration. This suggests the condition has stabilised rather than worsened, though replacement will be needed soon. At roughly 2,660 miles per year, the mileage is exceptionally low for a 2014 model, indicating light use or extended periods of standing. The annual mileage has remained consistent over the past decade, with no evidence of rapid accumulation or prolonged inactivity gaps. The MOT history is relatively complete, with tests conducted every 12 months without notable omissions. Buyers should prioritise inspecting the front brake components, as the pads and discs have been consistently flagged and are likely approaching minimum thickness. The rear brake system also requires attention, given repeated warnings about rear pad wear since 2023. Tyre condition has been a recurring issue, with structural failures and perishing noted on multiple occasions, suggesting age-related degradation despite low mileage. Suspension and exhaust components should be checked for corrosion or damage, particularly if the vehicle has been stored in damp conditions.
