MINI COOPER2013 · 1.6L PETROL

The most recent MOT, dated 9 June 2025, was a clean pass at 35,123 mi with no defects recorded . This mirrors the previous four tests (2019‑2024), each of which also passed without any advisory or failure notes. The pattern is therefore completely stable – there are no emerging or recurring issues evident from the MOT data. At 13 years old the car has only about 35 k mi, roughly 2,700 mi per year. Such low mileage can mean the drivetrain, suspension and brake components have seen relatively little wear, which is a positive sign for longevity. However, a low‑use vehicle may also have spent long periods idle, which can lead to ageing of rubber seals, corrosion on the under‑carriage and potential dry‑circuiting of electrical components. The mileage figure alone does not tell us whether the car has been gently driven or largely stored, so the implication for wear is ambiguous. Overall the MOT trend is stable and improving in the sense that no new defects have appeared over the last five years. There is no evidence of deteriorating safety‑critical items such as brakes, lights or emissions, and the consistent clean passes suggest the owner has kept the car in good mechanical order. Key checks for a prospective buyer - Inspect the under‑carriage for rust, especially around the chassis rails and suspension mounting points.
