Our Verdict
This 2010 MINI R57 requires careful consideration due to recurring MOT failures, particularly tyre and braking issues. While the recent MOT shows some improvements, potential buyers should scrutinize its mechanical health before purchasing.
Prioritize checking the tyre condition, as multiple failures indicate potential structural issues. Insist on a full service history to verify maintenance of the braking system and engine management. Negotiate the price to account for recurring faults, and consider a pre-purchase inspection by an independent mechanic. Be wary of the engine MIL (Check Engine) light history, which may indicate unresolved diagnostic trouble codes.
As a 1.6L petrol MINI, fuel economy averages 35-40 mpg. Road tax in 2026 would be £140 annually (standard rate for petrol cars registered before 2017). Insurance groups for MINI models typically range from 15-20, making premiums moderate. Maintenance costs may be higher due to frequent MOT failures, with tyre replacements and brake repairs likely. Estimated annual running cost: £1,200-£1,500.
Thoroughly examine all four tyres for bulges, cuts, or uneven wear, as multiple failures indicate potential structural issues. Check the braking system for uneven pad wear or fluid leaks, and test the rear brake balance. Inspect the engine management light circuitry for faults. Verify that all lighting components (headlamps, indicators, and registration plate lamps) are fully functional. Review service records for consistent maintenance of electrical systems.
A 2010 MINI R57 with 67,894 miles, this vehicle has a mixed MOT history showing repeated tyre and braking system issues. While the 2026 MOT passed with minor cosmetic faults, prior failures highlight ongoing concerns with tyres, lighting, and the engine's MIL system. The mileage is slightly below average for its age but does not offset the maintenance risks.
No aggregate data available for the MINI (R57) model, but individual MOT histories show common issues with tyres, lighting, and engine management systems.
