2016 MINI ONE1.2L Petrol

The 2025‑11‑13 MOT at 57,849 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance trend. Since the 2023‑11‑08 test, which also passed without defect, the vehicle has shown no recurring failures; the only prior advisory was the 2024‑11‑11 note on thin front and rear brake pads, which were addressed before the latest test. The mileage progression reveals a low annual average of roughly 5,800 miles for a 2016 model, suggesting limited use or extended periods of inactivity. Between 2022‑01‑31 (34,231 miles) and 2023‑11‑08 (42,481 miles) the car accumulated 8,250 miles in ten months, a period of accelerated use, while the interval from 2023‑11‑08 to 2024‑11‑11 added 8,560 miles over twelve months, indicating consistent but moderate annual mileage. Recurring issues include the 2024‑11‑11 advisory on thin brake pads (1.1.13 (a) (ii)) and the 2023‑11‑03 failure for mismatched tyre sizes on the near side rear axle (5.2.3 (b)), both of which point to potential suspension wear, binding calipers, and structural rust on the rear chassis that should be examined closely. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for corrosion or binding, verify tyre tread depth and correct size matching, and check the chassis for any rust or structural damage, especially around the rear axle where the tyre size discrepancy was recorded.
