2016 MINI John Cooper Works 2.0L Petrol · FV16 MLX

The 2025‑08‑01 MOT at 74,827 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating that the vehicle is presently roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable trend without recurring failures. The mileage of 74,827 miles equates to roughly 7,500 miles per year since the 2016 registration, which aligns with typical usage for a ten‑year‑old car. The interval between the 2024‑06‑28 test at 67,478 miles and the 2025‑06‑27 test at 74,817 miles represents an accumulation of about 7,339 miles over twelve months, a pace consistent with normal driving rather than accelerated wear. A buyer should focus on the suspension system, examining bushes and coil springs for signs of wear or binding, and inspect the rear brakes for any caliper binding or disc corrosion that could affect stopping performance. Structural integrity should be assessed for rust in wheel arches, sills and underbody panels, while the exhaust system must be checked for leaks or excessive emissions, as these components often reveal hidden deterioration despite a clean MOT. Finally, the buyer ought to verify tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition and any pending advisories noted in the record, and consider a physical inspection to confirm that the absence of recorded defects translates into genuine mechanical soundness.
