2016 MINI Cooper 1.5L Diesel · YK66 EFO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in November 2025 at 119,293 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows a period of stability following several years of recurring minor consumable-related advisories. While previous tests highlighted consistent issues with tyres, the latest pass without advisories suggests that the current owner has addressed the outstanding wear and tear items. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, with 14,700+ miles covered between October 2023 and November 2024, and another 15,200 miles between November 2024 and November 2025. This regular interval indicates the car has been used consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for engine seals and mechanical components despite the higher total mileage on the chassis. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyres and suspension, as the history reveals a persistent pattern of perishing and uneven wear. Between 2021 and 2024, the tester repeatedly flagged cracking rear tyres and front tyres worn to the edges, which often points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. Given the mileage now exceeds 110,000 miles, a thorough check of the control arms, shock absorbers, and bushings is necessary to ensure that the recurring tyre wear has not resulted from deeper mechanical failures within the steering geometry.
