MINI MINI2013 · 1.6L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on January 13, 2026, but the maintenance trend shows a slight decline in oversight evidenced by a failure just one day prior. The tester rejected the car due to a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system and a pitted or scored nearside front brake disc. While these issues were rectified to secure the subsequent pass, the recurrence of brakerelated suggests that mechanical attention is only addressed immediately prior to the inspection deadline. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,735 miles per year to reach 22,561 miles. Data shows significant intervals of inactivity; for example, only 356 miles were covered between February 2024 and January 2025, and just 704 miles between the two 2026 tests. This low usage pattern often leads to surface corrosion on braking components and dry-rott seals, which aligns with the persistent surface damage noted on the brake discs. A buyer must focus specifically on the braking system, as the pitting and scoring on the discs is a recurring issue noted in 2023 and again in 2026. This indicates the vehicle likely sits for long periods, allowing rust to corrode the metal surfaces. An inspection should also verify the newly repaired tyre pressure monitoring system to ensure the fault was functional rather than merely cleared. Given the low mileage and age, a thorough check for rubber cracking in suspension components and tyres is essential, as these parts degrade through time rather than mileage.
