2016 MINI ONE 1.5L Diesel · FE65 URG

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows signs of reactive rather than proactive care. In the most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 100,162 miles, the car passed despite a slightly defective offside front headlamp lens and front tyres worn to the legal limit. This follows a relatively clean period in the previous two years, suggesting that the current owner is only addressing faults once they trigger an MOT failure point. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. Between October 2022 and September 2025, the car covered 25,034 miles, indicating a steady usage pattern. There are no significant gaps in the testing history that would suggest long periods ofກັບ, which helps protect seals and rubber components, though reaching the 100,000-mile milestone marks a critical point where wear on the drivetrain and suspension components typically reaches an advanced stage. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the 2025 advisory noted uneven wear on both front tyres, which often indicates misalignment or worn suspension bushes. While the tester did not flag mechanical brake failures, the high mileage warrants a thorough check for caliper binding and pad thickness. Given the history of stone chips in the windscreen, verify if the chips noted in 2022 have been replaced or if they have developed into cracks that would compromise structural integrity in future tests.
