2013 MINI Cooper D 1.6L Diesel · TIG 5054

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 14 December 2024 at 136,968 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is typical for a 2013 model, averaging roughly 10,536 miles per year. The distance covered between the June 2022 test at 118,882 miles and the December 2024 test at 136,968 miles shows steady usage. A brief failure occurred on 20 May 2022 at 118,697 miles, though the record lists no specific defects for that failure, and the vehicle passed just two weeks later. The absence of advisories regarding brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion across the last three tests is unusual for a Mini of this age and mileage. While the record is clean, a buyer should still manually check for common chassis corrosion and the condition of the coil springs. The lack of recorded wear on consumables suggests either a rigorous preventative maintenance schedule or a very lenient testing history. Given the high mileage, a physical inspection should focus on the drivetrain and clutch operation. Since the MOT record provides no data on oil leaks or exhaust emissions issues, verifying the service history for timing chain or belt replacements is essential to ensure long-term mechanical reliability.
