2010 MINI 1.6L Diesel · CV60 KXR

The 2010 MINI presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 July 2025 at 82,889 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior annual test on 15 July 2024 at 71,566 miles also passed clean. The only blemish is a failed test on 10 July 2024 at 71,532 miles, which the DVSA record shows with no defects logged; the owner corrected whatever administrative or unrecorded issue applied and passed five days later at 71,566 miles. No advisories for corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions appear across the five tests on file. Mileage sits low for a sixteen-year-old car at 82,889 recorded miles, an average of roughly 5,181 miles per year. The gap between the 2 August 2022 test at 65,712 miles and the 14 February 2023 test at 67,364 miles shows light winter use of about 1,652 miles in six months. From February 2023 to July 2024 the car covered 4,202 miles, then 11,323 miles in the year to July 2025. That last jump is the highest annual gain in the record yet still modest. The sparse, clean history gives no evidence of neglected consumable wear or deferred mechanical work. A buyer should still confirm structural integrity and hidden corrosion on the subframes and sills, as the MOT entries list no advisories but a standing car at low mileage can trap moisture in box sections. The unexplained fail on 10 July 2024 warrants a check of the test centre paperwork to rule out a missed brake or lighting fault that was quietly rectified. Inspect the tyres, wiper blades, and suspension bushes in person given the age, and verify the brake calipers are free and the coil springs unbroken despite no tester flags.
