2016 MINI Countryman 1.6L Petrol · TA57 HAY

The 2016 MINI Countryman presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 December 2025 at 82,997 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the two prior annual tests in March 2025 and March 2024 also returned clean passes. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the five-year DVSA record, indicating the vehicle has not shown worsening condition or recurring defects under official inspection. Recorded mileage sits at 82,997 miles against a ten-year age, an average of roughly 8,300 miles per year and typical for the model. The history shows steady annual use: 55,013 miles on 13 March 2023, 66,645 on 11 March 2024, 75,924 on 26 March 2025, and 82,997 on 11 December 2025. The gap between the March 2025 and December 2025 tests covers only nine months yet adds 7,073 miles, a slightly accelerated rate but within normal bounds. The clean record across all dates suggests previous owners kept basic consumable and structural upkeep current rather than deferring work. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection despite the unbroken pass history. The MOT record flags no suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers, corrosion, or exhaust emission faults at any stage. That absence means no known structural or mechanical risks are documented, though standing moisture or undertray corrosion common on older MINIs will not show on a pass with no defects noted. Given the sparse but clean data, focus the viewing on tyre tread depth, wiper blades, and underbody rust not captured by the tester. The March 2025 failure on 17 March at 75,697 miles with no defects recorded points to an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical fault, resolved by the pass nine days later. Overall the vehicle's documented history implies disciplined ownership and no deferred maintenance trend.
