2016 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · SW16 ABU

The 2016 MINI COOPER demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2025-06-11 at 66,484 miles recording a pass and no defects. The prior test on 2024-06-13, also at 60,494 miles, showed a failure but no recorded defects, creating ambiguity. Subsequent tests from 2023-05-30 and 2022-06-02 similarly passed without issues. While the failure in 2024 lacks specific details, the absence of recurring mechanical or structural faults in other tests suggests the vehicle has maintained acceptable standards. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage, averaging approximately 6,648 miles annually. The 2022-2023 test interval saw a 7,583-mile increase, while 2023-2024 recorded 5,669 miles, and 2024-2025 5,990 miles. These figures reflect consistent driving rather than prolonged inactivity or excessive wear. No significant gaps or spikes in mileage are evident, supporting the conclusion that the vehicle has been regularly used without extreme stress on components. A buyer should verify the 2024 MOT failure’s context, as no defects were logged, and confirm the absence of hidden issues. Inspect the exhaust system for corrosion, given the vehicle’s age, and check suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, as these components often degrade over time. While the MOT records show no brake-related faults, a test drive should confirm smooth brake operation and absence of binding calipers. Tyre tread and wiper blades, not covered in the data, should also be visually assessed. The vehicle’s maintenance history suggests reliable upkeep, but a pre-purchase inspection is advised to address the 2024 anomaly and confirm structural integrity.
