Insight summary

BMW 114 is a very rare model in this snapshot, with 3,048 represented vehicles and 0.01% of the active UK pool tracked by AutoRank. For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 77.9% from 21,922 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 53. The current pool shows an average of 97,526 miles and an average age of 11.6 years, while mature-fleet mileage is estimated at 97,526 miles. Petrol leads the fuel split, followed by diesel, and the most frequent defect themes are lighting, windscreen damage and tyre condition. The practical read is that the BMW 114 looks like a solid used-car baseline rather than a rare find, with age, mileage and common wear items doing most of the explaining.
