2017 BMW 116 1.5L Diesel · YC17 HWK

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 24 September 2025 at 73,879 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This continues a clean record spanning five consecutive annual tests, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and avoids the common mechanical or structural failures typically seen in this age bracket. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per year. Between the October 2024 test at 68,732 miles and the September 2025 test at 73,879 miles, the car covered 5,147 miles, indicating steady and moderate usage rather than periods of long neglect or rapid mileage accumulation. This low-to-average ratio is generally beneficial for the drivetrain components and engine, which have likely avoided the premature wear associated with high-mileage cycles. Because the MOT history shows no recurring advisories for suspension, brake components, or corrosion, a physical inspection should focus on consumable items not covered by the annual test. A buyer should specifically check the condition of the front suspension bushes and coil springs, as these can perish over time through age despite a clean MOT record. Additionally, verifying the brake pad thickness and checking for scoring on the discs is prudent to ensure the lack of recorded defects reflects the actual mechanical state of the braking system.
