MINI COOPER D2013 · 1.6L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 8 May 2025 with 66,740 miles. While the history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes, the lack of recorded advisories in the last two tests suggests that the owner addresses identified defects promptly before they escalate. The maintenance trend appears reactive but effective, as the car consistently fails the initial test but meets all standards upon the subsequent re-inspection. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 66,740 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,134 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 8,600 miles driven between April 2023 and May 2024, and another 8,288 miles covered between May 2024 and May 2025. This low-frequency use typically mitigates wear on the drivetrain and engine, though it often increases the risk of rubber-based components degrading or brake components seizing due to periods of relative statis. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection focusing on the suspension and braking system, as low-mileage vehicles of this age often suffer from perished bushes and corroded brake calipers. Because the record does not list specific mechanical failures, the recurring test-day failures likely involved minor items like light bulbs or minor emissions deviations that were rectified immediately. Check the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly on the sills and subframe pans, as low mileage does not prevent environmental rust from affecting the metal over a decade.
