2011 MINI 1.6L Petrol · AF11 AAX

The vehicle presents a current roadworthy status following the March 2026 test pass at 105,382 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The March 2026 pass came on the same day as a failed attempt at identical mileage, though the tester logged no defects on either entry, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the car cleared every annual test from February 2024 through March 2025 without advisories. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 15-year-old car, averaging near 7,025 miles per year against the 105,382 miles recorded. The owner added only 2,280 miles between the February 2024 pass at 102,102 miles and the March 2025 pass at 103,348 miles, then a further 2,034 miles to the March 2026 test. Such low annual use implies light running, though the sparse record with five entries across two years leaves limited visibility of intermediate wear. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and the unexplained February 2024 fail at 102,120 miles followed one day later by a pass at 102,102 miles. The conflicting mileages and zero recorded defects on failure indicate the DVSA data alone cannot confirm structural integrity or consumable condition. Check underneath for corrosion on subframes and sills, and verify the exhaust emissions and caliper operation during a road test. The clean advisory history offers reassurance, but standing time from low mileage can mask perished rubbers and seized linkages not captured by the MOT sequence.
