Our Verdict
This 2014 BMW 116d represents a solid, well-maintained option for those seeking a premium hatchback. With a clean record of passes following initial administrative setbacks, it appears to be a mechanically sound vehicle that has been cared for by its previous owners.
When viewing this vehicle, focus your attention on the service history to ensure the 1.6-litre diesel engine has received regular oil changes, which are vital for the longevity of the turbocharger and timing chain components. Given the car's age, check that the clutch bite point is not excessively high, as this can be a sign of impending wear in manual BMW models.
Negotiate based on the fact that while the MOT history is clean, the car is now entering a stage where suspension components like bushes and ball joints may begin to show wear. Ensure all electronic features, including the iDrive system and climate control, are fully functional during your test drive, as these can be costly to repair if neglected.
As a 1.6-litre diesel, this 116 is designed for efficiency and should return respectable fuel economy, particularly on motorway journeys. Its road tax bracket will depend on its specific CO2 emissions, but it generally falls into a competitive category for a premium hatchback of this era.
Insurance groups for the 1-Series can be higher than average for its class due to the BMW badge, so obtain a quote before committing to the purchase. Budgeting for annual servicing at a reputable independent specialist will help keep the vehicle running reliably and maintain its resale value.
Begin your inspection by checking the tyres and brakes; although the MOT history shows no advisories, these are 'wear and tear' items that may be nearing the end of their life. Inspect the bodywork for any signs of uneven panel gaps or mismatched paint, which could indicate previous accident repairs not captured in the MOT data.
Under the bonnet, look for any signs of oil leaks around the engine block or turbo piping. Since the MOT history is clear of defects, focus on the 'feel' of the car: listen for any knocking noises from the suspension over speed bumps and ensure the engine idles smoothly without any erratic fluctuations in revs.
Registered in September 2014, this grey BMW 116 diesel has covered a modest 88,482 miles in its 12-year lifespan. The MOT history is particularly encouraging, showing a clean bill of health for the past three years. While there were brief administrative failures recorded on the same day as the passes in 2024 and 2025, these were resolved immediately, suggesting no underlying mechanical neglect.
While specific aggregate data for the 116 is unavailable, the 1-Series platform is generally regarded as robust, provided the engine is maintained with high-quality lubricants.
