Our Verdict
This 2010 MINI R57 convertible is a reasonable buy for a budget-conscious enthusiast, but budget for corrosion-related repairs. The clean recent pass with only minor advisories shows it remains roadworthy at 59,672 miles.
Use the recorded advisories as negotiation leverage: the 2026 test notes front and rear sub-frame corrosion plus a corroded near-side rear coil spring, and the 2025 test flagged an oil leak and pitted rear brake discs. Ask for proof these items were monitored or addressed, and request full service history to confirm the 1.6-litre petrol engine has been maintained on schedule. Given the R57 is a convertible, check the hood mechanism and drainage channels even though MOT data does not list them.
The 1598cc petrol engine in this MINI typically returns 40-45 mpg, keeping fuel costs modest for a small convertible. Road tax for a 2010 petrol car of this size is usually in the £200-£265 per year range, and insurance groups for the R57 sit around 17-22, so premiums are moderate. Routine maintenance plus the noted corrosion monitoring could bring typical annual running costs to £900-£1,200 including fuel, tax, insurance and upkeep.
Pay close attention to the sub-frame corrosion flagged at the last three MOTs (front and rear, 2025 and 2026), as prolonged weakening could require welding or replacement. The 2025 advisory for an oil leak (not excessive) should be traced to its source, and the rear brake discs described as worn/pitted should be measured for remaining life. Verify the offside front position lamp failure from June 2024 was a simple bulb change and that all lamps work, plus inspect the corroded rear towbar component noted in 2025 if a towbar is fitted.
The white 2010 MINI R57 (CY10JNO) has covered just under 60,000 miles in 16 years, which is low for its age. MOT history shows a single failure in 2024 for a front position lamp, quickly retested and passed the same day, plus recurring corrosion advisories on sub-frames and brake components. No aggregate model reliability data is available, but the individual history suggests a lightly used car with typical ageing issues for a British-weather convertible.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the MINI R57, so assessment is limited to this vehicle's individual history.
