AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2016 MINI COUNTRYMAN presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 2025-07-23 confirming no defects at 81,874 miles. Over the past three years, the vehicle has maintained consistent passing results, including a 2024-08-01 test at 71,682 miles and a 2023-07-25 test at 51,924 miles. A duplicate entry for 2023-07-25 notes a failure, though no defects were recorded, suggesting a possible administrative error or minor issue resolved prior to the subsequent pass. No structural, suspension, or braking faults have been flagged in the recorded history, indicating responsible maintenance. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage, averaging approximately 8,187 miles annually. The vehicle’s odometer shows a steady increase, with a 13,758-mile jump from 2022-07-19 (38,130 miles) to 2023-07-25 (51,924 miles), followed by a 19,758-mile rise to 2024-08-01 (71,682 miles). These increments reflect regular use without prolonged inactivity. The 2025-07-23 test, conducted 12 months prior to the current date, suggests the next MOT is due soon, though no urgent concerns are evident from the history. A buyer should conduct a thorough visual inspection of the underbody for corrosion, particularly around the exhaust system and suspension components, as these are common wear points in older vehicles. Check for uneven tyre wear, which could indicate alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. While no braking system defects were recorded, a test drive should verify smooth pedal response and absence of unusual noises. The absence of advisories in the MOT history implies no immediate risks, but the 2023 failure—despite no recorded defects—warrants attention to ensure all prior issues were fully addressed.
