2006 MINI 1.6L Petrol · FN56 TPO

The vehicle presents a current roadworthy status following a pass on 16 June 2025 at 82,419 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recent record. The most recent test passed with no defects recorded, though it followed a failed attempt on the same date at identical mileage with no defects listed, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the car passed clean on 22 July 2023 at 81,847 miles after a similar same-day fail with no defects on 21 July 2023. The recorded mileage of 82,419 against a 2006 build shows light use at roughly 4,121 miles per year. Between the 12 August 2022 test at 77,746 miles and the July 2023 tests at 81,847 miles the car covered just over 4,100 miles in eleven months. From July 2023 to June 2025 it added only 572 miles across nearly two years, indicating the car stood largely idle in that period. The DVSA history is sparse and clean, with no advisories or defects ever logged across the five entries supplied. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers given the low mileage and long static periods, as standing vehicles often develop seized handbrake mechanisms and flat-spotted tyres. The absence of corrosion or structural integrity flags in the record is reassuring for a 20-year-old hatch, but damp storage during the idle stretch may hide underbody rust not caught in a pass test. Verify the tyre sidewalls and brake disc condition before purchase, since the record offers no evidence either way on consumable wear.
