2016 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · CP16 ODL

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state, having passed its most recent MOT on 2 October 2025 at 51,382 miles. The maintenance trend is stable, though the record shows a recurring pattern of neglect regarding consumable wear. The most recent test flagged both front tyres as worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edges, a direct repetition of the advisories issued during the October 2023 test. The mileage is low for a ten year old car, averaging roughly 5,138 miles per year. Growth has been steady over the last five years, increasing from 26,724 miles in September 2021 to 51,382 miles by October 2025. This low usage suggests the car has avoided heavy drivetrain wear, but the specific nature of the advisories indicates the vehicle may have spent periods standing or has been subject to irregular maintenance. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system and tyre condition. The rear brake discs have been a persistent issue, flagged as pitted or scored in September 2021 and October 2023, and again noted as worn in October 2024. This suggests the rear brakes are rarely used or have suffered from corrosion due to low mileage. The repeated warnings about front tyre edge wear since 2023 strongly imply a misalignment or worn suspension components that are scrubbing the tread unevenly. Check the current tyre tread depth and look for uneven wear patterns across the axle. Confirm whether the rear brake discs have been replaced or if they remain pitted, as this can lead to reduced stopping efficiency. While the record shows no structural corrosion or suspension failures, the owner's tendency to ignore repeated advisories suggests a reactive rather than proactive approach to vehicle care.
