2016 MINI Countryman 1.6L Diesel · CX66 VTP

The 2016 MINI Countryman presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 21 October 2025 at 71,372 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of five consecutive annual passes. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the DVLA history, which indicates the vehicle has not required corrective work within the test scope across its recorded life. Annual mileage has tracked at a modest level for a ten-year-old car. The records show 38,642 miles in October 2021, rising to 47,077 by October 2022, 57,048 by October 2023, 65,194 by October 2024, and 71,372 by October 2025. That equates to roughly 7,100 miles per year with no gaps or sudden accumulation spikes. The sparse but consistent history gives no evidence of prolonged standing or heavy use, and the absence of any flagged wear items suggests the prior keepers maintained basic servicing discipline. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection despite the unblemished MOT trail. The tester recorded no suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion issues at any stage, yet the Countryman's age makes hidden structural rust and perished rubber components plausible outside the test bay. Verify the underbody, subframe, and brake calipers for binding or seepage that a visual MOT check might miss. Given the clean record through October 2025, the car sits roughly eight months past its last test with no overdue status. Treat the MOT as evidence of passed minimum standards only, not a substitute for a pre-purchase mechanical assessment of drivetrain and chassis condition.
