2016 BMW 116 1.5L Diesel · YE66 OAS

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean MOT passes over the last five years. The most recent test on 19 November 2025 at 70,177 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This reflects a stable maintenance trend, suggesting that the vehicle has been regularly maintained and has not suffered the mechanical failures or structural degradation often seen in cars of this age. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a decade-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. Between the 2021 test at 47,861 miles and the 2025 test at 70,177 miles, the car covered roughly 22,300 miles over a four-year period. This low annual usage indicates shorter urban trips rather than heavy motorway commuting, which typically reduces the strain on the drivetrain, clutch components, and braking systems compared to high-mileage counterparts. Since the MOT history shows no recurring faults regarding suspension bushes or brake components, an in-person inspection should focus on age-related deterioration rather than mileage-wear. A buyer should verify the condition of rubber elements, such as suspension bushings and control arms, which can become brittle over time despite low mileage. Additionally, checking the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensuring the integrity of the exhaust remains advisable, as infrequent use can sometimes lead to minor pitting on metal surfaces.
