2010 MINI 1.6L Petrol · LY10 AEG

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT record at the most recent inspection. The January 2026 test at 81,258 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of successful testing since late 2022, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that prevents recurring failures. The mileage accumulation appears low and consistent for a 2010 model. The car has covered 81,258 miles over approximately 16 years, averaging roughly 5,079 miles per year. The data shows a steady increase in mileage, moving from 68,010 miles in December 2022 to 76,500 miles in January 2025, and finally to 81,258 miles in January 2026. This steady progression suggests regular, light usage rather than long periods of stationary storage. A single failure recorded on 9 January 2024 at 70,109 miles stands out, though the record shows no specific defects were noted for that failure. Given that the vehicle passed the subsequent 2025 and 2026 tests without issue, this was likely a minor compliance matter that has since been resolved. The lack of advisories regarding corrosion, suspension bushes, or brake discs across the recent years indicates the vehicle has avoided the typical structural and mechanical degradation often seen in older cars. A buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of common wear items. While the MOT history is clean, the low annual mileage can sometimes lead to dried rubber seals or age-related deterioration in suspension components that an MOT may not catch. Focus specifically on the condition of the underside for surface rust and check the brake pads and discs for uneven wear, as the MOT record provides no insight into these consumable components.
