2011 MINI Cooper D 1.6L Diesel · EX51 ANN

The 2011 MINI COOPER D with 121,804 miles is currently roadworthy, as the most recent MOT on 2026-03-16 confirmed a pass with no defects. However, the record shows a failed test on the same date, creating ambiguity. Assuming the pass is the valid outcome, the vehicle’s maintenance trend appears stable, with no recurring issues flagged across its last five MOTs. No structural corrosion, suspension failures, or brake system defects were recorded in the latest assessment, suggesting consistent upkeep. The vehicle’s mileage of 121,804 miles over 15 years equates to an average of 8,120 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. The MOTs from 2023 to 2026 show regular intervals, with mileage increasing from 110,898 to 121,804 miles. No significant gaps or rapid accumulation are evident, though the 2026 test’s proximity to the current date (2026-07-22) means the car’s condition has not been reassessed beyond March. The absence of defects in all recorded tests indicates no immediate mechanical risks. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, common in 15-year-old vehicles, and check brake components for uneven wear or binding. The exhaust system and underbody corrosion should also be evaluated, as these areas often degrade over time. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the car’s age and mileage suggest potential hidden wear in drivetrain or electrical systems. A pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is recommended to confirm the vehicle’s integrity beyond the MOT records.
