2016 MINI COOPER1.5L Diesel

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 27 August 2025 at 48,919 miles resulted in no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have kept the car up to passing standards, and no recurring mechanical or structural failures have emerged across the six-year period. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,900 miles per annum. Between May 2019 and August 2020, the car covered only 8,000 miles, suggesting periods of light use or extended storage. A more significant increase in usage occurred between September 2024 and August 2025, where the vehicle clocked 7,219 miles in under eleven months. Despite this uptick, the total low mileage suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to seal degradation or carbon buildup due to low-frequency long-distance driving. Despite the clean record, a buyer should inspect specific components prone to age in low-mileage vehicles. Check the rubber bushes, suspension mounts, and tyre sidewalls for cracking, as these materials degrade over time regardless of distance. Examine the brake discs for surface corrosion or uneven pitting, as low-use cars often suffer from rust on the braking surfaces. The 2024 advisory regarding items removed from the driver's view is a minor safety compliance note, but ensure the cockpit remains clear of any obstructions to meet current safety standards.
