2016 MINI John Cooper Works 2.0L Petrol · AU65 DVL

The vehicle currently holds a valid roadworthiness status following a pass on 25 March 2026. The maintenance history shows a generally stable trend over the last three years, despite a failure recorded on 2 March 2026 just three weeks prior to the successful retest. While no specific defects were listed for that 2026 failure in the provided data, the record indicates that a component required attention which was rectified immediately before the subsequent passing result. At a recorded mileage of 67,396 miles, the car has averaged approximately 6,740 miles per year over its ten-year lifespan. This represents typical annual usage for a 2016 model. The records show consistent annual testing, with tests performed in July 2023, July 2024, July 2025, and March 2026. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stationary use which often leads to fluid degradation or component corrosion. A buyer should verify the specific fault that caused the March 2026 failure to ensure the repair was comprehensive rather than temporary. While the recent record shows no advisories, a physical inspection should focus on the suspension bushings and coil springs, which are common areas of wear on this chassis at this mileage. Given the age of the vehicle, checking brake discs for signs of pitting and calipers for binding is also advisable, as the MOT record alone does not flag these mechanical conditions. Buying score: 72 Risk level: Low.
