Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
When inspecting this vehicle, verify the service history for the 1998cc petrol engine to ensure oil changes have been performed at the correct intervals. Specifically, check if the front brake discs, which were noted as worn, pitted, or scored in the January 2025 MOT, have since been replaced, as the January 2026 test showed no defects.
Negotiate based on the current state of the consumables. While the most recent MOT was clean, ensure the tyres are in good condition following the nail reported in the rear tyre in February 2024. Confirm that all electronic features of the Cooper S trim are functioning correctly.
The 2.0L petrol engine provides a balance of performance and efficiency, though fuel costs will be higher than the standard Cooper. As a 2016 model, it falls into a standard tax bracket for its emissions, and insurance groups for the Cooper S are typically moderate to high.
Maintenance costs for this model generally involve standard intervals for oil and filters, with occasional spends on brake components as seen in this vehicle's history. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic servicing, is approximately £1,700-£2,200.
Focus your inspection on the braking system; the January 2025 MOT specifically highlighted that both the nearside and offside front brake discs were worn, pitted, or scored. Check for any signs of vibration during braking or visible scoring on the discs.
Inspect the tyres, particularly the offside rear, to ensure the nail recorded in February 2024 was professionally repaired or the tyre replaced. Finally, examine the grey paintwork for any age-related stone chips or scratches, and check the interior wear consistent with 71,519 miles.
This 2016 Grey MINI Cooper S has covered 71,519 miles, which is below the average for its age. The MOT history is relatively clean, showing five tests and five passes between August 2022 and January 2026. Only minor advisories regarding brake discs and a tyre nail have been noted in the records.
Aggregate reliability data for this specific model is not available, but this individual vehicle has demonstrated a consistent pass rate in its MOT history.
