2011 MINI (R60) 1.6L Diesel · AJ11 MTF

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy status following a pass on 5 March 2024 at 108,302 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history shows a recurring pattern of initial failures immediately corrected on re-test. On 29 February 2024 the car failed at 108,302 miles with no defects logged, then passed six days later at the same mileage. An identical sequence occurred on 20 February 2023 at 103,631 miles, failing and passing on the same day with no faults cited. These paired fail-pass entries suggest administrative or presentation issues at test rather than progressive mechanical decline. Recorded mileage sits at 108,302 against a 2011 build, averaging roughly 7,220 miles per year which is typical for the age. The odometer moved from 99,390 on 4 March 2022 to 103,631 by 20 February 2023, then held at 108,302 through both the February and March 2024 tests. That near-flat 4,671-mile gain across two years implies lighter recent use. The clean defect columns across all five entries mean no advisories for tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion were ever raised by testers. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the car is fifteen years old and the MOT record shows no advisory detail. The twin fail-with-no-defect events on 20 February 2023 and 29 February 2024 warrant confirmation the V5C and DVSA test certificates match, as such blanks often point to documentation mismatch rather than a roadworthiness fault. Check coil springs, exhaust emissions, and binding calipers in person despite the absence of flagged wear. Previous keepers clearly kept the MINI to a passable standard with no outstanding mechanical recalls in the data. The same-day corrections in 2023 and 2024 show willingness to act quickly, though the repeated blank failures hint at slack record handling. At 108,302 miles the R60 remains a credible used buy provided a workshop verifies the suspension and brake condition the MOT omitted to note.
