2016 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · LP04 SSP

The 2016 MINI Cooper presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 May 2025 at 35,245 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT results. Annual tests from June 2021 through June 2024 show mileages of 24,102, 26,586, 29,092, and 32,876 respectively, rising to 35,245 by May 2025. This equates to roughly 3,500 miles per year against a ten-year-old car, confirming very light use. No gaps appear in the record and no advisories or failures were ever logged, so the history is sparse but clean. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. Low mileage with long standing periods often masks perished rubber components such as suspension bushes, droplinks, and tyre sidewalls that a pass certificate will not flag if not yet defective. Check brake discs and calipers for corrosion or binding after storage, and inspect underside structural points for moisture-driven rust. The MINI's subframes are prone to deterioration despite a clear MOT sheet. Verify service history matches the low annual use.
