1987 AUSTIN MINI PARK LANE1.0L Petrol

The Austin Mini shows a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 9 August 2023 at 77,027 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2021 to 2022 also passed cleanly. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the available record, indicating the vehicle has presented as structurally and mechanically sound at each examination. Recorded mileage sits at 77,027 against an August 2023 test, having been 76,977 in August 2022 and 76,857 in August 2021. The car has covered only 170 miles across those two years, and roughly 1,975 miles per year since 1987. This low annual use implies light running, though the identical-date fail and pass on 17 August 2021 at 76,857 miles with no defects logged points to an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The sparse, clean history gives little evidence of deferred consumable maintenance. A buyer should still inspect for age-related corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points, as a 39-year-old Mini can hide rust not visible during a brief test. Check suspension bushes, dampers, and brake discs for deterioration from prolonged standing rather than wear. Verify the exhaust emissions and tyre condition match the clean MOT picture before purchase.
