2016 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · DP16 AAU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean current record. The most recent inspection conducted on 10 December 2025 at 63,030 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that any previous issues identified in earlier tests have been addressed. While a single failure was recorded on 20 November 2024, the immediate pass the following day suggests the previous owner was proactive in rectifying the necessary faults to keep the car road-legal. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per annum. The data shows steady usage with a gap of 1,720 miles between June 2023 and December 2023, followed by roughly 9,300 miles covered between December 2023 and December 2025. This regularity suggests the car has not been subject to long periods of standing, which is often beneficial for the condition of rubber components, brake seals, and fluid integrity despite the age-related degradation. Given the lack of recurring mechanical advisories in the most recent tests, a physical inspection should focus on the common wear points for this model. A buyer should check the condition of the front suspension bushes and coil springs as these often show fatigue at this mileage. Although the MOT history does not flag specific binding calipers or corrosion, inspecting the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or thinning remains prudent to ensure the braking performance is as effective as the clean record suggests.
