This 2016 Mini has 10 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 8,665 miles. The extremely low annual mileage (3,947 mi/yr) also raises questions about its usage and potential neglect.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage averaging 3,947 miles/year, with a significant 5-year gap (2020-2025) in MOT tests and only 2,728 miles added in the last 12 months.
Things to check
- Critical 5-year MOT history gap (2020-2025) — no tests recorded for 10 years.
- Recent timing chain advisory (Jul 2025) — a major wear item on a 2016 petrol engine.
- Extremely low annual mileage (3,947 mi/yr) — suggests long periods of inactivity or very light use.
- First MOT test in Jun 2023 was 7 years late — indicates potential non-compliance or unrecorded history.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until July 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recurring failures or advisories on the same system across multiple tests.
- Consistent, albeit low, mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2024) — excellent safety credentials for a 2016 model.
