2010 MINI 1.6L Petrol · AF60 JOU

The 2010 MINI presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 7 January 2025 at 111,043 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 13 November 2023 at 100,850 miles confirms no outstanding advisories carried forward. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical pattern across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 111,043 against an age of roughly sixteen years, equating to about 6,940 miles per year and reflecting typical use for a car of this type. The gap between the 9 November 2021 test at 81,056 miles and the 3 November 2022 test at 88,651 miles shows modest annual accumulation of 7,595 miles. A sharper rise appears from November 2022 to November 2023, where the odometer climbed 12,199 miles to 100,850. The single failure on 1 November 2023 at 100,428 miles, logged with no defects recorded, was followed by a pass twelve days later at 100,850 miles, indicating the initial rejection likely involved administrative or test-process error rather than a mechanical fault. The DVSA record raises no recurring advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the subframe and sills for hidden rust, given the age and the MINI platform's known susceptibility to structural decay in road-salt conditions. Verify the condition of consumable items such as tyres and wiper blades despite their absence from the advisories. Given the sparse but clean history, previous ownership appears to have maintained basic statutory testing discipline. The lack of flagged wear suggests either diligent consumable replacement or light examiner scrutiny. A pre-purchase check of the binding calipers and steering joints remains prudent on a 111,000-mile example.
