2013 MINI 1.6L Diesel · A3 SRY

The vehicle presents a current roadworthy status following a passed MOT on 23 July 2025 at 62,634 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent pass came on the same day as a failure logged at identical mileage with no defects recorded, mirroring a prior pattern from August 2024 where a fail on 05 August at 57,574 miles was followed by a pass on 06 August at the same mileage and no defects noted. These paired entries suggest administrative or presentation anomalies in the DVSA log rather than mechanical faults, as no advisories or defects appear on any test. The odometer shows 62,634 miles against a 2013 build, averaging roughly 4,818 miles per year. The record captures three annual tests: 50,404 miles in July 2023, 57,574 miles in August 2024, and 62,634 miles in July 2025. Annual accumulation sat near 7,000 miles between 2023 and 2024 then dropped to about 5,000 miles into 2025, consistent with light use. The sparse, clean history with no corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions concerns flagged gives no evidence of deferred consumable care or structural neglect. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of chassis legs, subframes, and sills for corrosion given the low mileage and likely periods of standing, as MOT clean sheets do not certify absence of early structural rust on a 13-year-old MINI. The tester recorded no binding calipers or worn coil springs, yet brake fluid age and tyre sidewall condition warrant verification. The duplicate fail-pass entries at 57,574 and 62,634 miles imply the seller or garage processed retests same-day; confirm with the V5C and service book that those miles are genuine and not clerical duplicates before purchase.
