2016 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · RF16 XAR

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test conducted on 16 July 2025 at 28,453 miles resulted in a clean pass, mirroring the flawless results of the previous three years. This consistency suggests that the primary mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable operating parameters without any recurring failures or escalating defects reported over time. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,845 miles per year. Between July 2021 and July 2025, the car covered only 7,181 miles, indicating infrequent use or long periods of storage. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, such low usage can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components or surface corrosion on brake discs due to inactivity. The only recorded issue occurred in July 2021 at 21,272 miles, where the tester flagged both nearside and offside front tyres as worn close to the legal limit and on the edge. The absence of this advisory in subsequent tests confirms the owner addressed this consumable wear immediately. Given the low annual mileage, a buyer should personally inspect the vehicle for flat-spotting on the tyres and check for rust on the brake rotors, which are common issues for cars that sit for extended periods.
