2013 MINI 1.6L Diesel · FP13 ESU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT test on 19 February 2025 with 100,763 miles. While the history shows two instances of failure immediately preceding a pass, the owner consistently rectified the identified issues to achieve a clean certificate in the subsequent tests. This pattern suggests that the owner is proactive in addressing MOT-related defects rather than allowing mechanical or safety faults to persist. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,750 miles per year to reach the current 100,763 miles. The record shows steady progress between tests, such as the jump from 85,638 miles in December 2022 to 95,617 miles in December 2023, and the subsequent 5,146 miles covered by February 2025. This regularity indicates the car is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which often helps prevent the degradation of seals and rubber components. Despite the clean results of the most recent tests, a buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of common wear points for this generation of MINI. At over 100,000 miles, the suspension bushes, coil springs, and dampers should be checked for signs of cracking or fatigue. The buyer should also inspect the brake discs for uneven wear or binding calipers and examine the underside for structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and wheel arches, where rust often begins to manifest on vehicles of this age.
