2016 MINI Cooper S 1.5L Petrol · AF66 NFE

The 2016 MINI Cooper S presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 February 2026 at 63,072 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes across the available history. Annual mileage has stayed close to typical for a ten-year-old car, averaging roughly 6,300 miles per year. The record shows 31,908 miles in September 2021, 34,417 by October 2022, 43,325 in January 2024, 54,137 in February 2025, and 63,072 by February 2026. The step from the 2022 to 2024 entries covers a longer 15-month gap yet adds under 9,000 miles, indicating light use rather than neglect. No test failures, advisories, or recorded corrosion, brake, suspension, or emissions faults appear at any point. Given the absence of flagged defects, the previous owner clearly kept the car to a standard that satisfied DVLA roadworthiness checks without outstanding consumable wear. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody structural integrity, as MOT passes do not measure component life remaining. The clean trail suggests no recurring mechanical trend, but standing periods implied by low yearly mileage can accelerate rubber perishing and surface corrosion unseen on the ramp. Prior to purchase, verify service history matches the odometer and confirm tyres, wiper blades, and fluid intervals were maintained outside the MOT scope. The factual record supports a sound used buy, provided a physical check confirms no latent wear the annual test omitted.
