2011 MINI 1.6L Diesel · CY61 EYK

The 2011 MINI presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 January 2026 at 137,348 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run that began after the January 2024 anomaly. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,157 miles, typical for a fifteen-year-old car. The records show steady accumulation: 129,619 miles in January 2023, 132,720 at the passed January 2024 test, 135,545 in January 2025, and 137,348 in January 2026. A failed test on 18 January 2024 at 132,718 miles shows no defects logged, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault, with the car passing later that same day at 132,720 miles. The sparse, clean history gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repairs. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and 137,000-mile accumulation. The MOT record flags no corrosion or exhaust emission concerns across the five-year span, yet DVSA tests capture only visible condition at the time. Verify underside structural integrity and check for binding calipers or worn steering joints not surfaced in the clean advisories. Previous owners appear to have maintained the car to a basic pass standard without accruing advisories. The absence of recurring faults suggests competent, if minimal, upkeep rather than enthusiast-level servicing.
