2011 BMW 116 2.0L Diesel · YR61 XHS

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a clean pass on February 24, 2026, where no defects were recorded. The overall maintenance trend appears stable despite a single failure recorded on February 27, 2025. That failure was rectified immediately, as the vehicle passed the test the very following day, indicating that the specific mechanical or emissions issue was identified and resolved quickly rather than representing a chronic or worsening pattern of neglect. At a recorded mileage of 94,258 miles, the car has averaged approximately 6,284 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 15-year-old vehicle. The records show consistent annual testing between March 2023 and February 2026. There are no significant gaps in the testing history to suggest long periods of stationary use, and the mileage accumulation remains steady, indicating regular use of the mechanical components over the last three years. While the most recent test showed no defects, a buyer should still verify the specific cause that led to the February 2025 failure to ensure the repair was durable. Given the age of the BMW, a physical inspection should focus on the suspension system, specifically checking for worn coil springs and perished bushes which often degrade at this mileage. The buyer should also inspect for structural corrosion on the underside and check the condition of the brake lines, as these are common areas of wear for this model regardless of recent MOT results. Buying score: 72 Risk level: Low.
