2013 MINI COOPER1.6L Petrol

The vehicle remains roadworthy; the September 2025 MOT at 74,396 miles recorded a clean pass with no advisory, confirming that the most recent inspection found no defects. The maintenance record shows a stable trend, with only a single advisory for front‑brake imbalance noted in the August 2021 test, which has not recurred in subsequent years. Mileage averages roughly 5,700 miles per annum over the thirteen‑year lifespan, indicating light to moderate use. The odometer progressed from 18,924 miles in August 2016 to 74,396 miles in September 2025, with no abrupt jumps that would suggest periods of intensive driving. The consistent annual increase supports the notion of gradual wear rather than accelerated degradation. A prospective buyer should verify that the front‑brake system is now correctly balanced, as the 2021 advisory implied prior adjustment was required. Inspect the brake pads, discs and caliper operation for any uneven wear or residual binding. Check the suspension components—particularly the front and rear bushes and coil springs—for signs of fatigue or corrosion, given the vehicle’s age. Examine tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, and confirm that the under‑tray fittings noted in the 2018 test have been removed or do not conceal any rust or structural issues. A visual inspection of the chassis for surface rust and a functional test of the steering and steering column will complete a thorough appraisal.
