2015 BMW 116 1.5L Diesel · YB65 HBU

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent inspection on December 16, 2025 at 159,614 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows an improving pattern, as the vehicle previously suffered failures in both 2023 and 2024 which were rectified prior to the re-tests. This suggests that the current owner is proactive in addressing MOT failures once they are identified rather than allowing faults to persist. At 11 years old, the recorded mileage of 159,614 miles reflects a high usage profile of approximately 14,500 miles per year. The data shows consistent heavy use, notably a 22,901-mile interval between the December 2023 and December 2024 tests, and another 19,173 miles covered in the final year of the record. This rapid accumulation places significant strain on drivetrain components, cooling systems, and suspension bushings compared to lower-mileage examples of the same model age. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension geometry and arm bushes, as high-mileage driving often accelerates the wear of rubber components. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the brake discs for thinning and calipers for binding is necessary to ensure the system is not neglected. While the recent MOT records are clean, the high mileage necessitates a close look at the underbody for structural corrosion or oil leaks that may not yet have triggered a standard MOT failure.
