2013 MINI 1.6L Diesel · GK63 CBY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of deferred suspension and seal repairs. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 82,879 miles passed, the record shows recurring issues with worn suspension arm bushes and a nearside rear oil leak. The pattern of failing a test and then passing on an immediate re-test suggests that the previous owners only addressed faults when necessary for legal compliance rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,375 miles per year. Data shows steady usage of roughly 8,000 miles between annual tests, moving from 66,896 miles in March 2024 to 82,879 miles by March 2026. This low-to-moderate level of use suggests the car has not sat for long periods, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and seals despite the low absolute mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the tester flagged worn pins and bushes on both sides across multiple years. The persistent engine oil leak noted in both 2024 and 2025 requires a close look to determine if a gasket or crank seal is failing. Additionally, the nearside rear brake binding reported in 2025 should be checked for a seized caliper piston or slider to prevent premature pad and disc wear. The uneven tyre wear noted in both 2024 and 2026 indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension components that require professional rectification.
