2016 MINI Countryman 1.6L Diesel · DP66 YGL

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 19 November 2025 at 75,911 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have proactively maintained the vehicle to meet DVSA standards without triggering any recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation over the last five years. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per annum. Between the December 2021 test at 39,156 miles and the November 2025 test at 75,911 miles, the car covered over 36,000 miles, showing a steady increase in usage compared to earlier years. The intervals between tests remain regular, suggesting the car has been in regular use rather than being left to stand for long periods, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and moisture-related corrosion in brake assemblies. While the MOT record shows no faults in the suspension or braking systems, a physical inspection should focus on common wear points for the Countryman at this mileage. Given the 75,000-mile mark, the buyer should verify the condition of the control arm bushes and shock absorbers for leaks, as these often show signs of fatigue after this distance. The brake discs should be checked for excessive thinning or uneven wear, as the MOT only tests for functional efficiency and binding rather than overall component life.
