2016 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · LC16 YSH

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 9 April 2026 at 53,341 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical and safety issues before they reached a failing threshold, maintaining the vehicle's operational integrity over the last five recorded years. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,334 miles per year. Between April 2022 at 37,010 miles and April 2026 at 53,341 miles, the car covered 16,331 miles, showing a consistent pattern of use of roughly 4,000 miles annually. This low-intensity usage typically results in less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can occasionally lead to the degradation of rubber seals or brake components if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. While the MOT record is exemplary, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of components susceptible to low-mileage age effects. Check for signs of cracking in suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which can occur regardless of tread depth. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use can prevent the pads from cleaning the metal surface effectively. Given the lack of structural advisories in the history, the chassis appears well-preserved, but checking the underside for early-stage corrosion remains a standard precaution for a vehicle of this age.
