2016 MINI Cooper S 2.0L Diesel · KX16 ULV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recurring pattern of neglected consumable upkeep. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 71,018 miles passed, the tester flagged an offside front tyre worn to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This mirrors a fault noted in August 2023 at 56,286 miles where the nearside front tyre also suffered from excessive edge wear. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical low-mileage usage, averaging approximately 7,100 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 30,281 miles in 2019 to the current 71,018 miles, with no significant gaps in testing or rapid accumulation. There is a notable period of clean records between 2021 and 2022, where no defects were recorded, suggesting the vehicle was well-maintained during that specific interval. A buyer must inspect the suspension geometry and steering components due to the repeated edge wear on the front tyres across multiple years. This specific fault often indicates incorrect alignment settings, worn suspension bushes, or failing control arms. The failure in 2024 regarding ineffective windscreen wipers suggests a minor oversight in basic maintenance checks, while the 2020 report of rear tyres blocking on the inside edge further warrants a check of rear camber alignment or axle-related issues.
