2016 MINI COOPER1.5L Petrol

The vehicle presents a positive roadworthiness status, showing a stable and improving maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 22 July 2025 at 76,746 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum legal safety and emission standards. While the history shows previous failures in 2023 and 2024, the subsequent clean passes suggest that the current owner is proactive in addressing mechanical faults identified by the tester. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use profile, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. There is a clear gap of 13,663 miles between the June 2023 test and the July 2024 test, followed by another 9,608 miles in the year leading up to the 2025 inspection. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which is generally preferable for the integrity of components like rubber seals and tyres that degrade when left stationary. The lack of rapid mileage spikes indicates the drivetrain has not been under undue stress. A buyer should verify the specific nature of the failures recorded in June 2023 and July 2024 to ensure the repairs were comprehensive. Although the most recent record is clean, a physical inspection should focus on common MINI wear points at this mileage, such as the condition of suspension bushes and front coil springs. Given the age of the vehicle, checking the underside for structural corrosion and testing the brake calipers for binding is also advisable, as the MOT record does not provide preventative advisories for these items until they reach a failure threshold.
