2011 MINI 1.6L Petrol · DA11 SMV

The 2011 MINI presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 October 2025 at 107,606 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run that began with the 12 October 2023 pass at 95,001 miles. The owner has kept the vehicle to a fault-free standard across the last three annual cycles. Recorded mileage sits at a plausible 107,606 for a fifteen-year-old car, averaging near 7,174 miles per year. The DVSA log shows 89,521 miles on 12 October 2022, rising to 95,001 by 12 October 2023, then 101,737 on 7 October 2024, and 107,606 by 8 October 2025. Annual use held steady at roughly 5,500 to 6,000 miles with no sudden accumulation or dormant gaps. The sparse five-entry history carries no advisories, so the record alone reveals little about worn consumables or hidden corrosion. The 7 October 2024 entry lists both a fail and a pass at identical mileage of 101,737 with no defects recorded against either. That pairing points to an administrative or presentational anomaly at the test centre rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still confirm the V5C and DVSA portal show a single valid certificate for that date. In person, the buyer should scrutinise suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related fatigue not captured by a zero-advisory test. Check subframes and sills for structural corrosion typical of the era. Verify tyre tread depth and wiper condition, as these consumables fall outside the recorded data but degrade with time.
