2011 BMW 116 2.0L Petrol · YY11 AEM

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-12-07 at 120,381 miles recorded both a PASS and a FAIL outcome with no defects listed, indicating potential administrative inconsistency or testing error. Previous tests show a pattern of passing and failing without recorded issues, suggesting either unreliable testing or minimal mechanical degradation. The absence of defects in the latest test implies stability, but the repeated failures without explanation raise concerns about the reliability of the MOT data. Mileage progression shows a steady increase, with 114,110 miles recorded in 2024-03-27 and 120,381 miles in 2025-12-07, aligning with an average annual usage of 8,025 miles. No significant gaps or spikes in mileage are evident, indicating consistent operation. However, the lack of detailed defect reports across multiple tests limits insight into wear trends. The 2025-03-21 tests at 118,931 miles also show conflicting PASS/FAIL outcomes without recorded issues, further complicating the assessment. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system, particularly bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake components, including calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny despite no recorded defects. The exhaust system and structural integrity should also be checked, as these areas often develop issues over time. The MOT history’s ambiguity underscores the need for a professional mechanical inspection to confirm the vehicle’s condition beyond the recorded data.
