2011 MINI 1.6L Diesel · AF61 YCP

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy status following the 27 November 2024 MOT pass at 104,033 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test recorded no defects, and the prior failure on 8 November 2024 at 104,031 miles also listed no defects, indicating the failure stemmed from administrative or non-mechanical grounds rather than a fault condition. This pattern repeats an earlier anomaly where the 26 June 2023 test produced both a fail and a pass at 99,322 miles with no defects logged on either entry. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 2011 registered MINI, with 104,033 miles recorded equating to roughly 6,936 miles per year. The record shows 92,871 miles at the 26 June 2022 test, rising to 99,322 miles by 26 June 2023, then jumping to 104,031 miles by November 2024. The gap between June 2023 and November 2024 covers only about 4,700 miles, suggesting reduced annual use in the final period. No rapid accumulation or standing-still extremes are evident, and the sparse clean records give little basis to suspect neglected consumable replacement. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's fifteen-year age and six-figure mileage. The MOT history flags no advisories for corrosion, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity, which implies previous test centres found no immediate concern in those areas. Verify the 8 November 2024 failure reason through DVSA documentation, as the zero-defect record leaves the cause unstated. Given the absence of recorded advisories across all five entries, previous owners appear to have maintained basic test compliance, though the dual fail-pass entries on the same dates warrant confirmation that no suppressed mechanical issue existed. Physical checks of tyre tread depth and wiper condition remain sensible given consumable wear is not captured by a clean MOT sheet.
