2010 MINI 1.6L Petrol · EY10 YJB

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 24 March 2026 at 101,450 miles, confirming its roadworthiness status is stable. The test record shows a consistent pattern of passing with only minor, non-mechanical advisories. While the vehicle failed a test in April 2025 due to a headlamp bulb, this was a simple electrical consumable issue that was rectified immediately, suggesting the owner maintains the vehicle to a functional standard without significant mechanical neglect. The recorded mileage of 101,450 over sixteen years averages out to approximately 6,340 miles per annum, which is entirely typical for a vehicle of this age and type. The accumulation of miles has been steady, with a notable increase between April 2023 and April 2024, where the vehicle covered nearly 15,000 miles. This indicates the car has been in regular use rather than sitting idle for extended periods, which generally helps prevent the issues associated with seized components or perished rubber seals that often plague low-mileage examples. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the tyres and the integrity of the front suspension, as the 2023 test highlighted uneven wear on both front tyres. Uneven tyre wear on this platform often points to tracking misalignment or worn suspension bushes, which can affect handling and increase costs if left unaddressed. Although the recent tests show no structural or brake-related advisories, the age of the vehicle warrants a thorough check of the exhaust system and brake lines for signs of corrosion, as these components are common failure points on older MINI models. The recurring note regarding the rear registration plate is purely cosmetic and requires no mechanical intervention.
