Our Verdict
A recommended purchase for those seeking
Prioritise the suspension during your inspection. The offside rear coil spring has been flagged for corrosion in two consecutive MOT tests (2025 and 2026), suggesting it may soon require replacement. Use this as a point for price negotiation or request that the seller rectify the issue before purchase.
Review the service history to ensure the 1.5L petrol engine has been maintained according to manufacturer intervals. Given the recurring tyre wear patterns noted in 2024 and 2025, it would be prudent to check if the wheel alignment has been corrected to prevent premature wear on the front outer edges.
The 1.5L petrol engine provides a balance of efficiency and city-friendly performance. Running costs will be influenced by the vehicle's insurance group and the current UK petrol prices, with tax falling into a standard band for 2016 petrol models.
Maintenance costs for this model typically involve premium tyres and brake components. Based on the model's aggregate data, tyre and brake pad replacements are the most frequent expenditures. You should budget for an annual running cost that covers these consumables alongside standard servicing.
Perform a detailed visual check of the offside rear coil spring for signs of heavy corrosion or cracking, as this has been a persistent MOT advisory. Check the current tread depth and wear patterns of the front tyres, specifically the outer edges, to see if the issues flagged in 2024 and 2025 have been permanently resolved.
Ensure the windscreen wipers clear the glass effectively without streaking, referencing the 2024 failure. Finally, check for any signs of leaks or unusual noises from the 1.5L engine during a cold start and test drive.
This green 1.5L petrol MINI Cooper has recorded 58,066 miles, placing it slightly below the model's average annual mileage. The MOT history shows a failure in 2024 due to tyre wear and wiper issues, alongside a recurring advisory for a corroded offside rear coil spring in 2025 and 2026. Aside from these consumables and suspension advisories, the record is relatively clean.
This model has a respectable aggregate MOT pass rate of 87.7%, with common failures typically limited to tyres, washer jets, and brake pads.
