2016 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · GY16 CEA

Most recent MOT – April 2026 – passed with no recorded defects at 62,381 mi. The last four tests all cleared, and the only items ever flagged were tyre tread limits (off‑side front in 2023, near‑side rear in 2022) and a minor windscreen chip noted in 2022. No recurring mechanical faults appear, and the absence of any failures in the past five years suggests the vehicle’s condition is stable, if not improving. Mileage of just over 62,000 mi for a ten‑year‑old MINI Cooper works out to roughly 6,200 mi per year, which sits squarely in the normal range. It does not point to heavy, high‑stress use, but it also does not guarantee long periods of inactivity – the figure is ambiguous enough that wear on consumables should be inspected rather than assumed. The pattern of tyre‑wear alerts on different wheels each year is the only recurring theme. This likely reflects normal tyre ageing rather than a systemic alignment or suspension issue, but it does highlight the need to check current tyre depth and condition, especially on the front axle which bears most of the braking load. Overall, the MOT history is clean, with no major safety or reliability concerns recorded. The vehicle appears to be maintaining a steady condition, and the mileage is typical for its age. Key checks for a buyer: - Inspect all tyres for tread depth, sidewall damage and even wear; replace if any are near the legal limit.
