2016 MINI Cooper S 2.0L Petrol · YK66 DLX

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a consistent passing record, though the most recent test on 13 August 2025 at 61,750 miles indicates a slight decline in consumable upkeep. While the car passed its inspection, the tester flagged an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge, alongside a damaged windscreen. This follows a clean pass in August 2024 at 54,462 miles, suggesting that while major mechanical failures are absent, basic maintenance of tyres and glass is occasionally deferred. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a low-to-average usage pattern for a 2016 model. The vehicle has covered approximately 6,175 miles per year, moving from 18,865 miles in September 2019 to the current 61,750 miles. This steady progression suggests regular, predictable use rather than long periods of stagnation or heavy commercial application. The intervals between tests remain regular, with annual inspections recorded throughout the history, providing a reliable data set for assessing wear. A prospective buyer should focus on the condition of the tyres and glass, as these appear to be recurring advisory items. The record shows a pattern of tyres being flagged for wear or edge damage in 2020, 2021, and again in 2025. This trend suggests the owner may wait until tyres are near the legal limit before replacing them. Given the offside front tyre was noted as worn on the edge in the 2025 test, a physical inspection of the suspension geometry and wheel alignment is advisable to rule out uneven wear caused by worn bushes or incorrect tracking. The windscreen has also appeared as a recurring issue, with damage noted in both September 2022 and August 2025. While these were not classified as immediate failures, the presence of chips and damage suggests the glass may require replacement soon to prevent cracks from spreading. No issues regarding structural integrity, braking systems, or exhaust emissions were recorded in the recent history, which points toward a mechanically sound vehicle provided the consumable components are addressed.
