2016 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · HO11 LLB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a positive maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 18 August 2025 at 76,259 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that any previously identified issues have been addressed. This follows a period of relative cleanliness since the 2024 test where rear brake discs were flagged for wear, suggesting the owner responds to mechanical service requirements. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle averaging approximately 7,600 miles per annum. There is a noticeable increase in usage between February 2023 and August 2024, where the car covered over 16,000 miles in just 18 months. However, the rate has slowed since then, with roughly 7,700 miles covered in the last twelve months. This generally low annual mileage suggests the vehicle is not used for heavy commuting, which typically reduces strain on the drivetrain components compared to higher averages. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the tyres and braking system. The records from 2020 and 2021 highlight recurring perishing and cracking on the rear tyres, which often indicates the vehicle sits for long periods, allowing the rubber to age despite low mileage. Since the 2024 test noted worn discs, a thorough check of the current pad thickness and disc surface for pitting is necessary to ensure no immediate replacement remains. Given the age of the MINI, checking the suspension bushes and corrosion on the underbody is standard practice, though no structural defects have been flagged in the history to date.
