2016 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · AF66 OSX

The 2016 MINI Cooper presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 January 2026 at 38,222 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes since at least February 2022. The vehicle shows no advisories or failures across the entire supplied history, indicating consistent compliance with statutory test standards. Recorded mileage sits at 38,222 against a ten-year-old hatchback, equating to roughly 3,822 miles per year. The DVSA data charts gentle annual accumulation: 25,122 miles in February 2022, rising to 32,225 by January 2023, 33,823 in January 2024, 35,293 in January 2025, and 38,222 in January 2026. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. Such low, steady use implies light motoring, though prolonged standing between short trips can age tyres, brake discs, and suspension bushes without high-mileage wear. With zero faults or advisories logged, the record gives no direct signal of worn coil springs, binding calipers, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody condition and suspension mounts, as the MOT tester may not lift the car on every visit. Verify brake disc faces for pitting from disuse and check tyre sidewalls for age cracking given the low annual distance. The clean test lineage suggests prior owners kept the MINI to a basic pass standard with no deferred defects. Absence of recurring advisories points to resolving rather than worsening condition. Treat the low mileage as a positive, but confirm in person that standing time has not隐蔽ly degraded rubber components or exposed metal.
