2011 MINI 1.6L Diesel · CK11 HAO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive repairs rather than proactive care. The most recent MOT test on 29 May 2026 shows a pass only after rectifying multiple failures involving the washer system, windscreen damage, and rear brake components. While the car passed, the persistent presence of pitted and scored rear brake discs as advisories immediately following a failure suggests that the previous owner is only addressing mechanical components once they reach the threshold of legal failure. At 132,109 miles, this 15-year-old MINI has averaged approximately 8,800 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for its age. The record shows consistent annual testing, with roughly 4,800 miles covered between May 2024 and May 2025, and another 3,600 miles between May 2025 and 2026. This steady mileage indicates the vehicle is used regularly, which is generally beneficial for seals and mechanical components compared to long periods of standing. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension,, as the 2024 test flagged play in the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage. The oil leak noted in May 2025 also requires a physical check to determine if it is a minor seepage or a more significant gasket failure that has not been properly addressed. Given the condition of the rear brake discs identified in the 2026 test, the thickness and condition of the brake pads should be verified to ensure they are not also prematurely worn.
