2011 MINI 1.6L Petrol · ML61 AEA

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status based on the most recent MOT pass on 26 September 2025 at 114,357 miles. The maintenance trend appears exceptionally stable, as the record shows no defects or advisories across multiple years of testing. This lack of flagged issues suggests a vehicle that has been kept in a consistent state of repair. The mileage is typical for a 15 year old car, averaging roughly 7,624 miles per year. Usage patterns show a steady increase from 98,858 miles in September 2023 to 114,357 miles by September 2025. The accumulation of approximately 15,500 miles over those two years indicates regular, moderate use rather than periods of prolonged standing, which generally helps prevent seals from perishing and brakes from seizing. The absence of any recorded advisories for suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions is unusual for a MINI of this age and mileage. While the paper record is clean, a buyer should still manually inspect the chassis and sills for structural corrosion, as these are common failure points that may not have been highlighted if the vehicle was well-maintained. Check the condition of the tyres and brake pads during a physical inspection. Since the MOT history shows no defects, these consumables may be nearing the end of their service life without having yet reached the legal limit for a failure. Verifying the service history for oil changes and coolant flushes will confirm if the mechanical care matches the clean MOT record.
