2016 MINI John Cooper Works 2.0L Petrol · SO16 XRA

The vehicle holds a roadworthy status, with the most recent MOT on 11 July 2025 at 32,587 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Relative to today's date of 21 July 2026, that test sits eleven months old, keeping the certificate valid but nearing renewal. Maintenance trend stays stable across the five-entry history, showing passes in November 2022, November 2023, November 2024 and July 2025 with no advisories. The lone failure on 20 November 2023 at 28,002 miles carried no listed defects, and the tester issued a pass one day later at 28,003 miles, pointing to a procedural reject rather than worsening mechanical condition. Mileage pattern confirms low use for a 2016 plate. The record shows 25,133 miles on 22 November 2022, rising to 28,003 miles by 21 November 2023, then 30,698 miles on 26 November 2024 and 32,587 miles on 11 July 2025. Annual gains average near 2,500 miles, beneath the 3,259 mile per year norm for the age. No abrupt accumulation or extended dormancy appears, yet the sparse clean sheets reveal little about consumable turnover such as tyres or wiper blades. A buyer should still arrange a physical inspection of structural integrity and core mechanical parts despite the absence of flagged faults. The John Cooper Works chassis loads suspension bushes, coil springs and brake discs harder, so examine those for corrosion or fatigue cracks. Inspect underbody for rust, verify exhaust emissions hardware, and confirm the exact November 2023 failure reason through DVSA records to exclude any undocumented identity mismatch. Previous keepers cleared every tested standard with no advisories, implying careful storage but not guaranteeing hidden wear from long standing periods.
