2013 MINI Cooper SD 2.0L Diesel · FH13 FDD

The 2013 Mini Cooper SD presents as roadworthy following a pass at 95,065 miles on 8 December 2025, and the maintenance trend is stable with no advisories or defects logged across the recent test cycle. The vehicle cleared the 29 November 2024 test at 85,431 miles and the 4 October 2023 test at 78,198 miles, showing consistent clean results. A failed test on 1 December 2025 at 95,048 miles recorded no defects, with the car passing seven days later, which suggests an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault-driven failure. Mileage progression sits close to typical use for a thirteen-year-old car, averaging roughly 7,300 miles per year. The record shows 73,223 miles in October 2022, rising to 78,198 by October 2023, then 85,431 in November 2024, and 95,065 by December 2025. Annual accumulation held near 5,000 to 9,600 miles with no abrupt jumps or long dormant gaps that would flag standing-related degradation. The absence of recorded advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion across all tests implies previous owners kept the car to a standard that avoided flagged wear. The unexplained failure a week before the final pass warrants a check of the DVSA refusal reason, though no defects appear in the supplied data. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, underbody rust, and drivetrain condition given the car's age and diesel SD specification. Verify the brake calipers are free, tyres carry legal tread, and the exhaust emissions remain within limits, as MOT cleanliness does not capture gradual consumable fatigue between tests.
