The report shows you 400 letters, broken up into four rows with 10 clusters
of 10 letters. If you count off the letters, then add 16000, that will be the
position where you differ from the Cambridge Reference Sequence (CRS). I was
able to locate the group of 10 that you quoted, and your results are coded as
16146[G].

When you go to the Mitochondrial DNA Concordance at
http://shelob.bioanth.cam.ac.uk/mtDNA/, first find the page that will include
16146, then use your browser to search for 16146[G]. You probably also match

16024[o] 16146[G]

The "o" means that position 16024 was omitted in the source citation, but
chances you would match at that location if it had been sequenced.

Your mtDNA matches samples found from Germany and Karelia. This does NOT
necessarily mean that your ancestors ever lived in those locations, so using
the concordance is Just For Fun.
