This 2016 Mini has 12 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 52,615 miles. The pattern of issues, including a DANGEROUS brake failure in 2024, makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 14,745 miles per year, with a significant spike in 2021 (1,479 miles) and a consistent increase thereafter, indicating heavy commercial or high-mileage private use.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS brake failure on 2024-06-14 (test 127463) — immediate safety concern.
- Recurring brake pad advisories (Feb 2019) escalating to DANGEROUS failure (Jun 2024) — systemic neglect.
- Recurring headlamp failures (Jun 2024) and insecure lamp (Jun 2024) — multiple lighting system issues.
- Recurring engine/oil failures (Jun 2024) — potential underlying engine or transmission issues.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2024): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2026-06-14 — no immediate retest required.
- Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or round numbers — no odometer fraud detected.
