2013 MINI ONE1.6L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive care. While it passed its latest test in March 2026 at 76,705 miles, it failed just three days prior due to multiple safety-related defects. The trend shows a consistent pattern where basic consumables like bulbs and tyres are only addressed immediately after an MOT failure, suggesting the owner performs the minimum work required to keep the car legally compliant. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 76,705 miles is low, averaging approximately 5,900 miles per year. This low usage profile explains the significant rubber degradation noted in the recent records. Between March 2024 and March 2026, the car covered 29,191 miles, yet the March 2026 test flagged rear tyres as perished and cracking. This indicates the vehicle likely sits stationary for long periods, causing the tyre compounds to dry out and deper due to age rather than tread wear. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the front sub-frame, which the tester flagged for corrosion in March 2026. Although noted as not seriously weakened at that time, corrosion on these components tends to progress and can compromise structural integrity if left un. The buyer should also examine the brake system thoroughly; the record shows a history of pitted rear discs in 2025 and worn front discs in 2024. Given the recurring issues with tyres and lighting, the buyer should also check for sidew cracks in all rubber and ensure all external lamps are fully functional before purchase.
