2016 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · EO66 AEB

The vehicle presents a generally stable maintenance profile, with the most recent MOT passed on 13 July 2026 at 42,800 miles. While the car has passed its tests consistently, the record shows a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than proactive servicing. The December 2025 test at 41,898 miles initially resulted in a failure due to brake pads reaching the wear indicator and an offside front tyre being worn close to the legal limit. The subsequent pass indicates these consumables were replaced, though the recurrence of tyre issues suggests a potential lack of attention to wheel alignment or driving habits. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2016 model, averaging approximately 4,280 miles per year. The data shows steady, incremental growth, moving from 20,527 miles in November 2019 to 42,800 miles in July 2026. This low annual usage suggests the vehicle has spent significant time stationary or is used for very short journeys. While low mileage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and suspension, it can sometimes lead to secondary issues such as battery degradation or tyre flat-spotting, though no specific evidence of these exists in the MOT history. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the windscreen and tyre condition. The record shows recurring windscreen damage, with chips or cracks noted in December 2022, December 2021, and most recently in July 2026. This suggests the glass may be prone to stone chips or has not been replaced despite repeated damage. Furthermore, because the December 2025 failure highlighted worn brake pads and edge-worn tyres, a manual check of the remaining brake pad thickness and the tread wear patterns on all four tyres is necessary to ensure the vehicle is not suffering from incorrect camber or alignment issues.
