2013 MINI 1.6L Petrol · DDZ 122

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test on 25 March 2026 at 21,471 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, maintaining a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. This suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids recurring mechanical or structural failures during the testing process. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 2013-registration, averaging approximately 1,652 miles per annum. Between March 2022 and March 2026, the car covered only 4,904 miles, with a notable gap between 2024 and 2025 where only 548 miles were recorded. This pattern indicates the car is likely used sporadically or remains stationary for extended periods. While this reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, periods of inactivity can lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts and the settling of brake fluids. While the MOT record shows no faults, a buyer must physically inspect for issues associated with low-mileage storage. Focus on checking for flat spots on the tyres, perished brake hoses, and potential binding calipers caused by lack of use. The chassis should also be examined for early signs of corrosion, as surface rust can occur despite low mileage, especially given the age of the vehicle. Ensure that the suspension bushes are not cracking from age, as these components often fail through time rather than through distance.
