2010 MINI 1.6L Petrol · LY10 AFF

This vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 24 July 2025 resulted in a pass at 88,616 miles with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on the same day, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a rapid rectification of a minor issue. The mileage is low for a sixteen year old car, averaging roughly 5,538 miles per year. The accumulation has remained consistent over the last four years, rising from 71,187 miles in August 2022 to 88,616 miles in July 2025. This steady increase indicates the car has been used regularly rather than left to stand for long periods, which typically reduces the risk of seized calipers or perished seals. The MOT history is exceptionally clean, showing no advisories or failures across multiple years. This suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance or a very light duty cycle. However, the absence of any flagged wear on consumables like brake discs, tyres, or suspension bushes over a 17,000 mile span is unusual for a vehicle of this age. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas the MOT tester might overlook or that develop suddenly. Check for chassis corrosion and the condition of the rubber suspension components, as these often degrade with age regardless of low mileage. Verify the service history to ensure oil changes and fluid flushes occurred even when the annual mileage remained low.
