2016 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · SV16 ABD

This vehicle demonstrates an exceptional roadworthiness trend. The most recent MOT on 10 October 2025 at 47,675 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to May 2022, indicating a stable mechanical condition and a high standard of preventative maintenance. The mileage is notably low for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,768 miles per year. The distance covered between the May 2022 test at 26,989 miles and the October 2025 test at 47,675 miles shows a steady increase of approximately 20,686 miles over three years. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or suspicious regressions that would suggest odometer tampering or prolonged periods of stagnation. The absence of any advisories across five consecutive tests is rare for a car of this age. The record shows no recurring issues with suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions. This suggests the previous owner prioritised upkeep and avoided neglecting basic consumables. A physical inspection should focus on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Check the condition of the tyre rubber for age-related cracking and inspect the brake fluid moisture content. While the MOT history is flawless, low-mileage cars can occasionally suffer from perished seals or battery degradation due to shorter journeys. Verify the service history to ensure oil changes occurred at the correct intervals despite the low annual mileage.
