2013 MINI First 1.6L Petrol · FP13 XPT

The 2013 MINI FIRST presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 20 August 2024 at 69,764 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Prior to that, the August 2023 tests showed a clean pass alongside a failed attempt on the same date and mileage of 65,777, though the failure carried no listed defects, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The vehicle has not accumulated advisories or repeat failures across its recorded history, indicating consistent basic compliance with test standards. Recorded mileage sits at 69,764 against an August 2024 test, equating to roughly 5,366 miles per year from new. The jump from 58,540 miles at the February 2022 test to 65,777 by August 2023 shows about 7,200 miles in eighteen months, then only 3,987 miles in the following year. A gap exists between the February 2022 and August 2023 entries with no intermediate record, but the low overall mileage implies light use, likely with periods of standing given the age. No suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion issues appear in the supplied records, and the absence of advisories points to no flagged structural or mechanical risks. A buyer should still verify underside condition for rust and check brake caliper operation, as low-mileage cars left stationary can develop binding from seized slides or flat-spotted tyres. The same-day fail and pass in August 2023 warrant a glance at the V5C and test certificate to confirm no omitted defect data. Given the clean trailing record, this MINI requires only standard pre-purchase checks: tyre sidewall age, fluid condition, and evidence of scheduled servicing. The history implies previous owners kept the car to minimum legal standard with no neglected consumables surfacing in the official data.
