2011 MINI 1.6L Petrol · CP11 RXG

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clear improving trend following a specific mechanical failure. The most recent inspection conducted in January 2026 at 79,450 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. This indicates that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed and that the vehicle has maintained a high standard of compliance over the last three annual tests. The mileage profile is notably low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per year. Between February 2023 and January 2026, the car covered 5,644 miles, showing a consistent and modest usage pattern of roughly 1,880 miles per annum. This low-frequency use suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though long stationary periods can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber seals or seized components if the vehicle is not driven regularly. A buyer should focus their on-person inspection on the braking system, given the February 2023 failure at 73,806 miles due to an offside rear service brake binding and an axle imbalance. While the subsequent tests show these were resolved, a physical check should verify that the rear calipers move freely and that the discs do not show uneven wear. Given the age of the MINI, a close inspection is also required for structural corrosion on the chassis and suspension mounting points, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from environmental corrosion regardless of the distance driven.
