2013 MINI COOPER D1.6L Diesel

The 2013 MINI Cooper D presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 January 2026 at 87,690 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the available record, indicating consistent upkeep. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,745 miles, typical for a 13-year-old car. The records show steady accumulation: 75,696 miles in April 2023, 79,189 in January 2024, 84,654 in January 2025, and 87,690 by January 2026. A failed test on 24 January 2024 at 79,189 miles carries no recorded defects, suggesting an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault. The clean pass on the same date confirms the car was roadworthy that day. The sparse, defect-free history gives the buyer little to target beyond standard age-related checks. At 87,690 miles, suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear warrant a physical inspection despite no tester flags. Drivetrain components on the diesel Cooper should be assessed for leaks or excessive crankcase ventilation. Previous owners appear to have maintained the car to MOT standard without lapse. A buyer should still commission an independent pre-purchase inspection to confirm underside corrosion levels and genuine service history, as the MOT alone does not evidence routine oil changes or timing belt condition.
