Our Verdict
This MINI Cooper Diesel is a solid optio
When inspecting this 2016 diesel model, ensure you check the service history to see how the 1.5L engine has been maintained, particularly regarding oil changes which are vital for diesel turbochargers. Given the mileage is just over 60,000, check for any signs of clutch wear or suspension component fatigue.
Negotiate based on the age of the vehicle and the fact that it is a diesel, which may affect its future resale value depending on local Clean Air Zone regulations. Always verify that the current MOT certificate is valid and that any previous advisories from the 2022 test were addressed.
As a 1496cc diesel, this MINI is designed for efficiency, likely offering good motorway fuel economy. You should check the specific tax band for this 2016 registration, as diesel rates can vary based on CO2 emissions.
Insurance groups for MINI Coopers vary significantly depending on the driver profile, so obtain a quote beforehand. Maintenance costs for this model are typically moderate, though diesel-specific components like the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) can be costly if the car has only been used for short urban trips.
Focus on the windscreen and wiper area, as the 2022 MOT record specifically noted a damaged front windscreen. Ensure the glass is clear and free of chips that could lead to further cracks.
Since the recent MOTs (2023, 2024, and 2025) show no defects, the vehicle appears to meet basic safety standards, but you should still inspect the tyres, brakes, and suspension components manually. For this diesel engine, listen for any unusual engine noise or vibrations that might indicate issues not captured by the MOT testing parameters.
Registered in February 2016, this silver 1.5L diesel MINI Cooper has covered 63,649 miles as of its last MOT in November 2025. The vehicle has a consistent testing history, with the most recent three tests showing no defects recorded. While a windscreen issue was noted in September 2022, the subsequent years have been clear of recorded failures.
No aggregate reliability data is available for this specific MINI Cooper model to provide a comparative reliability rating.
