2010 MINI 1.6L Petrol · AD10 AHA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 17 March 2026 at 98,439 miles with no defects recorded. This result indicates that the car is currently in a compliant mechanical state. While a failure was noted on 30 November 2023, the immediate pass on the same day suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying identified faults rather than allowing them to persist. The mileage pattern is consistent with low annual usage for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,152 miles per year. Between the July 2022 test at 88,114 miles and the November 2024 test at 96,445 miles, the car covered roughly 8,000 miles over twenty-six months. The recent interval of 1,994 miles between November 2024 and March 2026 shows regular but light usage, which reduces the risk of component degradation associated with long periods of stationary storage. Given the clean nature of recent tests, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on common wear points specific to this model and its age. Check the rubber suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, as these can perish over time regardless of low mileage. Inspect the brake discs for signs of corrosion or pitting, as low-frequency use can sometimes lead to seized calipers or uneven wear. Additionally, examine the chassis for rust to ensure the structural integrity of the vehicle has not been compromised despite the clean MOT history.
