AI verdict BUY 82/100
AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2016 Bmw has 9 MOT tests on record with a 100% pass rate and 22,128 miles. While there are known model-specific timing chain and engine reliability issues, the car's low mileage and clean record make it a strong candidate.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage averaging 6,051 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent low of 2,667 miles in the last 12 months.
Things to check
- BMW N54 engine (2.0L diesel) has a history of HPFP, water pump, and turbo failures, though not evident in this MOT record.
- Timing chain and associated guides are prone to failure in BMW N20/N54 engines, a known model weakness.
Working in its favour
- Perfect MOT record: 9 consecutive passes with no failures or dangerous defects since 2019.
- Consistently low annual mileage (6,051 miles/year) suggests light use and less wear on components.
- Recent clean MOT pass on 2026-04-24, valid until 2027-05-25, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
- No recurring advisories or failures, indicating a well-maintained vehicle with no systemic issues.
