2013 MINI Cooper 1.6L Petrol · DE63 DXJ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 5 December 2025 at 68,077 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car consistently meets the minimum standard following initial test failures. While the record shows failures in both late 2024 and 2025, the immediate passes following these tests suggest that the owner is proactive in rectifying identified defects rather than allowing mechanical issues to persist. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 68,077 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,237 miles. The data shows a consistent pattern of use, with roughly 11,800 miles covered between September 2023 and December 2024, and another 14,636 miles covered between November 2024 and December 2025. This low-intensity usage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though the age of the vehicle can still lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown due to long stationary periods. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection focusing on signs of corrosion, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from surface rust on the chassis that is not driven frequently. Given the failures recorded prior to the passes, a close look at the suspension bushes and coil springs is necessary to ensure no new play has developed. The most recent test recorded no advisories, but checking the brake discs for surface pitting or seized calipers is vital to confirm that the low mileage has not resulted in uneven wear or seizing of the braking system.
