2016 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · AF16 WMK

The 2016 MINI Cooper presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 April 2026 at 56,364 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean MOT outcomes across the previous four years. Annual mileage sits well below typical expectations for a ten-year-old vehicle. The record shows 35,598 miles in March 2022, rising to 40,910 by March 2023, 46,573 in March 2024, 52,437 in March 2025, and 56,364 in April 2026. That equates to roughly 5,000 miles added each year, or about 5,636 miles annually since registration. The low, evenly spaced figures suggest light use rather than sustained motorway wear, though prolonged standing between short trips can age tyres, brake discs, and suspension bushes without high-mileage stress. No advisories or failures appear in the DVLA data, so the history alone reveals no recurring mechanical faults, corrosion issues, or brake defects. A clean sheet across five consecutive tests implies the previous owner kept basic upkeep current. The absence of flagged items means the record gives no evidence of neglected consumables or structural decline. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the car. Low-mileage MINIs of this era can hide perished rubber components, weeping dampers, or early subframe corrosion even when the tester logged nothing. Check tyre sidewall condition, brake disc face for pitting after standing, and front suspension arm bushes for cracking before purchase.
