MINI MINI (R57)2010 · 1.6L PETROL

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in March 2026 with no defects recorded. This is a positive indicator of its current roadworthiness and suggests that any previous issues have been addressed. The MOT history shows a significant mechanical event in March 2023, when the car failed due to engine management and exhaust emissions issues, specifically involving the MIL, Lambda, and hydrocarbon levels. However, this was resolved immediately, and the car has passed all subsequent tests. The 2025 MOT noted that both front tyres were worn close to the legal limit, which is a common maintenance requirement. The condition trend appears to be improving or stable, as the major engine-related failures from 2023 have not recurred in the subsequent years. At approximately 95,776 miles, the vehicle has covered roughly 5,986 miles per year. This is low for a 16-year-old car. While this suggests lighter overall usage, low mileage on an older vehicle can sometimes imply the car has sat for long periods, which can affect rubber components and seals. When inspecting the car in person, you should first check the engine's smoothness and ensure no warning lights appear on the dashboard.
