2016 MINI Cooper 1.5L Diesel · AP66 FTU

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a stable and clean maintenance history. The most recent inspection conducted on 10 December 2025 at 75,852 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This consistent streak of clean passes across the last five annual tests suggests that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a professional standard, addressing mechanical and structural issues before they could result in MOT failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. Between the December 2021 test at 37,576 miles and the December 2024 test at 68,755 miles, the car covered roughly 31,000 miles, indicating steady and predictable usage patterns. There is no evidence of long periods of stagnation which could lead to seized brake calipers or perished rubber components, nor is there any sudden spike in mileage that would suggest premature wear on the drivetrain or suspension components. While the digital record shows no flagged advisories, an in-person inspection should focus on common wear points for this model at this mileage. The buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushes and control arms, as these often show signs of cracking after 75,000 miles despite a clean MOT. Checking the brake discs for uneven wear or thinning is also advisable to ensure the system has not been neglected. Given the clean history, the structural integrity of the chassis likely remains sound, but a visual check for corrosion on the rear sills remains a standard precaution for a vehicle of this age.
