2013 MINI Cooper D 1.6L Diesel · HX13 LPE

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-07-16 at 89,099 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but a prior test on 2025-07-15 at the same mileage failed without noting any issues. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative error or a retest after minor corrections. Subsequent tests from 2023-06-16 (69,566 miles) and 2024-05-29 (78,039 miles) both passed with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance record over the past three years. No recurring mechanical or structural faults are evident from the MOT history, though the lack of detailed defect descriptions limits definitive conclusions. The vehicle’s mileage of 89,099 miles aligns with its 13-year age, averaging approximately 6,854 miles annually—a typical rate for its era. The MOT records show a steady progression from 69,566 miles in June 2023 to 89,099 miles in July 2025, with no significant gaps or rapid accumulation. The 10,473-mile increase between the 2023 and 2024 tests and the 11,060-mile jump to 2025 suggest consistent usage, though the absence of intermediate tests between 2024 and 2025 raises questions about potential maintenance oversight. While the MOT history lacks specific mechanical findings, the repeated failures without defect notes imply possible procedural issues. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, for wear, and check brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or corrosion. The exhaust system and structural integrity should also be verified, as these areas are common in older vehicles. The absence of tyre-related advisories is positive, but a thorough pre-purchase inspection remains essential to confirm the vehicle’s condition.
