2010 MINI 1.6L Diesel · FP10 MUE

This vehicle presents a stable and unusually clean roadworthiness profile for its age. The most recent MOT on 22 May 2025 at 171,075 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to May 2022, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance or a vehicle that has been meticulously kept. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical UK usage for a 16-year-old car. Between May 2022 and May 2025, the odometer rose from 150,722 to 171,075 miles, averaging roughly 7,117 miles per year over the last three years. This steady usage prevents the common issues associated with long-term standing, such as seized brake calipers or perished rubber seals. The record shows a failure on 24 May 2023 at 156,915 miles, though it passed on the same day with no defects listed. This likely indicates a minor administrative error or a rapid rectification of a trivial fault. There are no recurring mentions of suspension bushes, coil springs, or exhaust emissions, which is rare for a MINI of this vintage and mileage. A buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of the chassis and sills for corrosion, as MOT testers often overlook early-stage surface rust that does not yet compromise structural integrity. Given the high mileage, a manual check of the gearbox synchronisation and clutch bite point is advised to ensure the drivetrain has not suffered excessive wear despite the clean MOT history.
