2013 MINI COOPER1.6L Petrol

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-09-04 at 58,134 miles recorded a PASS, but an identical date also shows a FAIL with no defects noted, indicating a potential data inconsistency. Previous tests from 2024-08-27 to 2022-09-15 consistently passed with no defects, suggesting a stable maintenance trend. The absence of recorded issues in the last three tests implies the car has been well-maintained, though the conflicting 2025 results require clarification. The vehicle’s mileage of 58,134 miles at 13 years old equates to approximately 4,472 miles annually, significantly below average for its age. This low usage could indicate infrequent driving or prolonged periods of inactivity, which may affect components like the battery, tyres, and fluid systems. Gaps between MOTs range from 11 to 13 months, with the longest interval between 2023-08-31 (50,771 miles) and 2024-08-27 (55,836 miles), a 5,065-mile increase over 12 months. Such patterns may suggest sporadic use rather than regular maintenance. A buyer should verify the car’s structural integrity, as low mileage does not eliminate risks of corrosion or suspension wear. While no defects were recorded, the 2025 MOT discrepancies warrant scrutiny of the vehicle’s service history. Inspect brake components, including discs and calipers, for uneven wear, and check suspension bushes and coil springs for age-related degradation. Tyres should be assessed for dry rot, given the extended periods of inactivity implied by the mileage trend.
