2010 MINI Cooper D 1.6L Diesel · S77 SAE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent inspection on 11 November 2025 with 80,054 miles. While the record shows a failure just seven days prior on 4 November 2025 at 80,048 miles, the lack of recorded defects suggests a minor administrative or technical issue that was immediately rectified. Since 2022, the absence of advisories across multiple annual tests indicates that the vehicle has maintained a high standard of presentation without recurring mechanical degradation or structural failures. The mileage pattern is notably low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per annum. Data shows a significant period of low usage between March 2022 and June 2023, where the car covered only 38 miles in over fourteen months. However, the usage has increased more recently, with 1,325 miles recorded between November 2024 and November 2025. This intermittent usage pattern suggests the car may sit for long periods, which often preserves internals but can lead to rubber component degradation or brake fluid moisture absorption during those periods of inactivity. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection focusing on components affected by age rather than high-mileage wear. Check for cracking in suspension bushes and perished rubber boots, as low mileage does not prevent the natural drying of these materials. Given the age of the chassis, inspect the structural integrity of the subframe and exhaust for corrosion, even though the MOT history has not flagged any issues. Ensure the brake discs are free of heavy surface pitting, as the long periods of stationary time can cause oxidation on the rotors.
