2011 MINI (R60) 1.6L Petrol · CT11 FND

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 29 September 2025 at 92,189 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable with no advisories or mechanical faults logged across the available history. The only anomaly is the failed tests logged immediately before the passes in both 2024 and 2025, each showing no defects recorded, which points to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than a worsening mechanical condition. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,146 miles per year against the car's 2011 build, a typical figure for a 15-year-old MINI R60. The records show steady accumulation: 83,692 miles in September 2023, 87,770 miles by October 2024, and 92,189 miles by September 2025. The 12-month gaps between tests are consistent and the increments are modest, with no sudden jumps that would suggest heavy commercial use or neglected long-standing periods. The clean defect history gives the buyer little to act on from the MOT alone. The twin failures on 17 September 2024 at 87,654 miles and 27 September 2025 at 92,177 miles, both with no defects listed, warrant a check of the VOSA failure reason codes or a conversation with the selling garage to confirm they were not masked corrosion or brake-related rejects later cleared without rectification. In person, the buyer should still commission a independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age, and confirm underside structural integrity for corrosion. The absence of advisories across three years does not exempt a 92,000-mile MINI from consumable wear, so verify tyre tread depth and exhaust emissions independently before purchase.
