2010 MINI 1.6L Petrol · AV10 AAE

The 2026-03-16 MOT at 82,563 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable trend without worsening or improving issues. At an age of 16 years, the 82,563 miles equate to roughly 5,160 miles per year, a figure that is low for a 2010 model and suggests periods of limited use or extended standing. The interval from the 2022-06-14 test at 59,731 miles to the 2023-03-22 test at 62,965 miles represents a 3,234‑mile increase over nine months, after which annual increments have remained around 3,500‑4,000 miles, confirming consistent, moderate usage. A buyer should therefore focus on mechanical components that typically show wear with age despite the clean MOT history: suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or sagging, brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust that can compromise integrity. Inspection of the exhaust system for corrosion, the condition of structural mounts, and verification of tyre tread depth and wiper blade condition will help confirm that low mileage has not masked underlying deterioration.
