2016 MINI ONE 1.2L Petrol · LL66 LWN

The vehicle presents a strong mechanical profile as of its most recent MOT on 10 October 2025 at 35,738 miles, where it passed with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend is broadly stable, with no recurring serious mechanical or structural failures across the five-year history. One minor advisory appeared in October 2024 regarding uneven front tyre wear, but this was not flagged again in the subsequent test, suggesting the issue was addressed through replacement or alignment rather than left to deteriorate. The mileage accumulation tells a clear story of very light use. The car covered just 18,401 miles over the five-year period from October 2021 to October 2025, averaging roughly 3,680 miles per year. The most recent annual interval between October 2024 and October 2025 saw 4,362 miles added, which is consistent with regular short-distance driving rather than prolonged standing. There are no suspicious gaps in the MOT record, with annual tests completed consistently each autumn, indicating the car was kept in active use and not left sitting for extended periods where brake seizure or fuel degradation might become a concern. The only advisory on record came in October 2024 at 31,376 miles, when the tester noted both front tyres worn on the inside edges, indicating toe misalignment or under-inflation rather than simple age-related wear. By the October 2025 test this had resolved, implying the tyres were replaced and the tracking corrected. No suspension, braking, or structural defects have ever been flagged, which is encouraging for a ten-year-old vehicle. A prospective buyer should still inspect the underside for corrosion, particularly around the rear subframe and sills, as MINI platforms of this era can be susceptible to surface rust even on low-mileage examples. The front suspension bushes and anti-roll bar links deserve a close visual check given the earlier tyre wear pattern, even though no defect was formally recorded. Brake discs and pads should be measured for remaining thickness, as low annual mileage can lead to disc corrosion and uneven pad deposition that an MOT may not always capture.
