2016 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · RE16 YBY

The vehicle's MOT history shows an improving trend in terms of recorded defects, following a failure on 14 September 2023. The most recent test on 23 September 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a clean pass in September 2024, suggesting that the issues causing the 2023 failure have been addressed and the vehicle has maintained a clean record for the last two testing cycles. The vehicle has covered 157,910 miles over its ten-year lifespan, averaging approximately 15,791 miles per year. This represents high annual usage compared to typical UK averages. The MOT records show consistent annual testing, with entries on 15 September 2022, 14 September 2023, 16 September 2024, and 23 September 2025. There are no significant gaps in the testing timeline, though the high mileage suggests increased wear on mechanical components such as the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as high-mileage vehicles often exhibit wear in these areas. Given the total mileage, checking for any signs of structural corrosion or fluid leaks from the engine and gearbox is advisable. While the recent MOTs show no defects, the cumulative mileage necessitates a close examination of brake disc thickness and pad wear to ensure they remain within acceptable limits.
