2016 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · CP16 YHO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last four years. The most recent test on August 2 2025 at 119,323 miles resulted in an initial failure for an ineffective offside windscreen wiper, which was rectified immediately to secure a pass with no further defects. This indicates that while minor consumables lapse, the core mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable tolerance limits without recurring safety-critical failures. The mileage accumulation is linear and typical for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per annum. Between the July 2022 test at 86,108 miles and the 2025 test at 119,323 miles, the car covered over 33,000 miles at a steady rate. This regular usage pattern is generally preferable compared to long periods of standing, as it helps prevent seals from drying out and keeps components from seizing within the braking assembly or suspension system. While the MOT record shows no recorded advisories or structural corrosion, a buyer should focus on high-mileage wear components common to the 120,000-mile mark. Inspection should specifically target the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, which often degrade at this distance interval. Given the clean history, a physical check for fluid leaks around the engine and the thickness of the brake discs is necessary to ensure the previous owner maintained the mechanical standard reflected in the clean MOT results.
