2016 MINI ONE 1.2L Petrol · SW16 DDN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in August 2025 at 76,123 miles resulted in a pass immediately following a failure just one mile prior. This failure was caused by multiple tyre defects, including deep cuts reaching the cords on the nearside tyres and perishing/cracking on the offside pair. This trend suggests the previous owner only addressed critical components when they specifically cause an MOT failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use urban vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. Between the November 2023 test at 66,966 miles and the August 2025 test at 76,123 miles, the car covered roughly 9,100 miles over twenty-one months. While the low mileage reduces general wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often leads to the degradation of rubber components, as evidenced by the cracking and perishing noted in late 2025. A buyer should physically inspect the current tyres for signs of dry rot or sidewall damage, as the record shows a history of neglecting this area. The lack of advisories in the 2024 test suggests the suspension and braking components were in good condition at that time, but the age of the vehicle warrants a close look for perished suspension bushes and control arm bushings. Given the previous failure for a position lamp in 2023, ensure all exterior lighting and indicators are fully functional before purchase.
