2006 MINI 1.6L Petrol · FH06 MTO

The 2006 MINI presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 31 March 2026 at 125,731 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from March 2023 to March 2025 also passed clean. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the five-year DVSA history, so the recorded condition shows no worsening or unresolved issues. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a twenty-year-old car. The record shows 113,532 miles in March 2023, rising to 114,970 by March 2024, 117,093 by March 2025, and 125,731 by March 2026. That equates to roughly 6,300 miles per year with no sudden accumulation or long standing gaps. The only anomaly is the 11 March 2024 failure at 114,968 miles, which the tester closed seven days later as a pass at 114,970 with no defects logged; this suggests an administrative or retest quirk rather than a genuine fault. Given the clean sheet across all tests, the buyer faces no flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion concerns from the record. The history implies the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current and the chassis has avoided structural advisories. In person, the buyer should still confirm tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and underbody structural integrity for hidden rust, since the MOT logs no advisories but do not replace a physical inspection. A pre-purchase check of fluid leaks and suspension play remains sensible on a car of this age and mileage.
