2010 MINI 1.6L Petrol · FG60 ERK

The vehicle presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 31 July 2025 at 71,266 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a failed attempt on the same date with no defects listed, which suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in July 2024, July 2023, and July 2022 all passed cleanly with no advisories, showing consistent annual compliance over the last four years. The recorded mileage sits at 71,266 miles against a 16-year-old car, averaging roughly 4,454 miles per year. The jump from 55,105 miles in July 2022 to 56,589 miles in July 2023 shows minimal use, then a larger rise to 65,171 miles by July 2024 and 71,266 miles by July 2025. This low overall mileage implies light use or periods of standing, though the recent 6,000-mile annual climb indicates the car has returned to regular service. The DVSA data carries no flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions issues across the record. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the car's age and the risk of moisture ingress during low-use periods. The tester logged no advisories on coil springs, binding calipers, or tyre tread, but the same-day fail on 31 July 2025 warrants confirmation that no outstanding test anomaly exists on the DVLA portal. Given the clean history, focus the viewing on age-related rubber perishing in suspension mounts and coolant system condition rather than accumulated wear.
