2013 MINI 1.6L Diesel · AF13 TXS

The 2013 MINI presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 7 November 2025 at 121,713 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior successful tests also closed with clean sheets. The upkeep pattern shows no worsening faults and no recurring advisories across the visible history. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,363 miles, typical for a thirteen-year-old car. The records show steady accumulation: 91,216 miles in January 2022, 102,712 miles by February 2023, 113,341 miles in February 2024, and 121,713 miles by November 2025. A minor gap appears between the February 2023 pass and the February 2024 test, roughly eleven months rather than twelve, but the mileage delta of 10,629 remains consistent with prior years. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, with only a failed entry on 7 February 2023 at 102,657 miles that was retested and passed three days later with no defects logged, suggesting an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a worn component. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and 121,713 miles. The MOT record flags no corrosion or structural integrity issues, yet thirteen years of UK road salt exposure can hide beneath sills and subframes untouched by the test lane. Verify the exhaust emissions system and check for binding calipers during a road trial, as these items escape detection when a test passes with no advisories. The clean history implies previous owners kept basic consumable wear in check and addressed the 2023 failure promptly. Treat the absence of advisories as a positive signal, not a guarantee, and confirm service intervals with paperwork before purchase.
