2010 MINI 1.6L Petrol · DN53 DNN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 19 August 2025 at 70,272 miles which returned with zero defects. This represents an improvement over previous years where the tester flagged the vehicle for recurring consumable issues. The lack of advisories in the latest inspection suggests the current owner has addressed outstanding concerns and maintained the car to a passing standard. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 70,272 miles reflects a low annual average of approximately 4,400 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-level usage, with only 5,404 miles covered between July 2024 and August 2025. While this low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often correlates with the degradation of rubber-based components due to age rather than distance, which is supported by the history of tyre faults. A buyer should pay close attention to the tyres and suspension, as records from 2021, 2022, and 2024 indicate persistent issues with tyre perishing and uneven wear. The 2021 failure for front tyres being worn to the limit on both edges suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that may recur. Given the low mileage and high age, a physical inspection should check for dry rot in the sidewalls and cracking in rubber arm mounts, as these components often fail through oxidation on vehicles that sit stationary.
