2016 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · CX66 VUD

The 2016 MINI Cooper presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 19 June 2025 at 32,775 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, showing no recurring advisories or escalating mechanical faults. The vehicle cleared every pass test without noted wear to suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity. Recorded mileage sits at 32,775 against a ten-year-old car, averaging roughly 3,278 miles per year. The DVSA entries show light annual accumulation: 32,346 miles in May 2023, then 32,734 at the June 2024 failure and 32,735 at the same-day pass, rising to 32,773 and 32,775 across the two 19 June 2025 tests. Such low figures point to infrequent use, likely with long stationary periods, though the record itself is sparse and clean with no consumable or corrosion flags logged. The repeated same-day fail-then-pass pattern in June 2024 and June 2025, with zero defects cited on either failure, suggests administrative or documentation issues at the testing station rather than underlying vehicle faults. Previous keepers appear to have kept basic upkeep current, given the absence of tyre tread, wiper blade, or binding caliper advisories throughout. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection focused on dormant-use risks. Standing time invites seized handbrake mechanisms, flat-spotted tyres, and surface corrosion on subframes or sills not caught in a no-defect test. Verify the true cause of the two anomaly failures via DVSA failure reason codes, and check fluid condition, brake caliper freedom, and suspension bush cracking before purchase.
