2010 MINI 1.6L Petrol · AD59 WKA

The 2010 MINI presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 10 February 2026 at 96,584 miles with zero defects recorded. The vehicle currently holds a strong roadworthiness status. The previous test on 4 February 2025 at 91,200 miles shows a failed result, yet the record indicates no defects were flagged, suggesting an administrative anomaly or an aborted test rather than a mechanical failure. The subsequent clean pass the same day confirms the structural and mechanical integrity remained sound. The recorded mileage of 96,584 miles over sixteen years equates to roughly 6,036 miles annually, a typical figure for a vehicle of this age. The data reveals a notable gap between the August 2022 test at 75,502 miles and the February 2024 test at 84,542 miles, during which the car covered 9,040 miles over eighteen months. Following this, the annual mileage increased slightly, with 6,658 miles accumulated between February 2024 and February 2025, and 5,384 miles covered in the subsequent year leading to the most recent test. This pattern indicates consistent, moderate use without prolonged periods of inactivity or excessive high-mileage accumulation. Given the absence of recorded mechanical or structural advisories, the MOT history offers no specific recurring faults to target. However, the typical wear points on a sixteen-year-old MINI require physical verification. A buyer should inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, alongside checking the brake discs and calipers for signs of corrosion or binding. The exhaust system and structural underpinnings must be examined for corrosion, as age-related rust can develop even when a vehicle passes its emissions and structural integrity checks. Tyre condition and tread depth warrant a close look, as uneven wear could indicate misalignment not captured during the MOT assessments.
