2011 MINI 1.6L Petrol · FG61 SDZ

The 2011 MINI presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 20 February 2026 at 115,404 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior annual tests show the same clean outcome. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the available history, indicating the vehicle has not entered a worsening or neglected condition. Mileage sits at a typical level for a fifteen-year-old car. The record shows 100,916 miles at the 23 February 2023 test, rising to 108,777 by 20 February 2024, 112,437 by 19 February 2025, and 115,404 by 20 February 2026. That equates to roughly 4,000 to 7,700 miles per year, with no abrupt jumps or long dormant gaps. The clean test sequence across those dates suggests consistent use and routine presentation for testing rather than deferred upkeep. A failed test on 19 February 2025 at 112,437 miles carries no recorded defects, with a pass issued the same day on the retest. This points to an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The absence of flagged items such as suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across all entries means no recurring defect pattern exists to track. Given the sparse MOT data, a buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and consumable wear. Priority areas include front coil springs, rear trailing arm bushes, and brake caliper operation, as these commonly degrade on this chassis with age regardless of test outcomes. Verify the true condition of tyres, wiper blades, and underbody rust that a no-defect pass may not capture.
