2010 MINI 1.4L Petrol · AO59 WMP

The vehicle currently holds a positive roadworthiness status, following a successful MOT test on 5 November 2024 at 111,498 miles where no defects were recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, although the history shows an unexpected failure in September 2024 just over 110 miles prior. The fact that the car passed without defects shortly after that failure suggests the previous owner was proactive in addressing identified issues to ensure the vehicle met legal standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a sixteen-year-old city car, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. The record shows steady progression from 100,934 miles in September 2022 to 106,268 miles in September 2023, eventually reaching 111,498 miles by late 2024. This regular interval indicates the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the integrity of rubber components, seals, and fluid systems that prevent degradation. While the most recent test is clean, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on common failure points for this model at this age. Given the failures in 2022 and 2024, a close look at the suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs is necessary to check for excessive play or corrosion. The buyer should also inspect the underside for structural rust and check the condition of the brake discs and calipers, as the consistent mileage puts regular stress on these components over time.
