2010 MINI 1.6L Petrol · FL10 MKC

The 2010 MINI presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 June 2025 at 137,282 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior annual tests show the same clean result. The vehicle carries no outstanding advisories or failures across the last four years of official records. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,580 miles, typical for a sixteen-year-old car. The records show steady accumulation: 104,242 miles in June 2022, 113,952 in June 2023, 125,969 in May 2024, and 137,282 by June 2025. The only anomaly is a failed test on 17 May 2024 at 125,965 miles, retested the same day at 125,969 miles and passed with no defects listed. This suggests an administrative or minor pre-check failure rather than a mechanical fault, with the owner correcting it immediately. The clean MOT history gives no flagged wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still inspect these areas in person given the car's age and mileage. Rubber components and subframe mounts on early MINIs degrade with time regardless of test outcomes. Check for underbody rust at chassis mounting points and inspect the front control arm bushes for splits. Verify brake caliper operation and disc condition, as the record offers no insight beyond the test-day snapshot. The absence of advisories reflects a well-kept example, but physical inspection remains essential before purchase.
