2016 MINI ONE 1.2L Petrol · HX66 NTG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on 11 September 2025 at 46,274 miles. However, the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive care. While the most recent test showed no defects, the preceding failure just one day prior highlighted critical safety issues, including severely worn brake pads and a weakened rear brake disc. The trend suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when forced by an MOT failure, rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. This low usage is evident in the progression from 20,697 miles in 2020 to 46,274 miles in 2025. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, the recurring evidence of perishing tyres in 2021 and 2023 indicates the car likely sits for long periods, causing rubber components to degrade due to age and exposure rather than mechanical friction. A buyer must inspect the nearside front inner drive shaft CV boot, which has been flagged as severely deteriorated since at least 2021. If this has not been replaced, it will eventually lead to grease loss and catastrophic joint failure. The tyre pressure monitoring system has also been a recurring failure across multiple years, suggesting a persistent electronic fault or sensor issue that remains unaddressed. Given the recent failure for thin brake pads and a weakened disc, a thorough in-person inspection of the entire braking system is required to ensure no binding calipers or excessive corrosion were overlooked during the recent repairs.
