2006 MINI 1.6L Petrol · KL06 XPM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing MOT examinations. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 109,688 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. This follows two consecutive years of clean passes in 2024 and 2025, suggesting that the owner has maintained the vehicle sufficiently to prevent recurring mechanical or structural failures. The mileage pattern is notably low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per annum. Between September 2022 and September 2025, the car covered roughly 9,800 miles, representing a steady and light usage rate rather than long periods of neglect or heavy commuting. While there was a failure in September 2023 at 102,186 miles, the vehicle passed again just one week later at 102,214 miles, which implies a minor issue that was quickly rectified without a deep-seated mechanical failure. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on structural integrity and rubber components, as low-mileage vehicles of this age often suffer from dry rot and perished bushes rather than wear-related tear. Check the subframe and suspension mounting points for corrosion, which is a common failure point for this generation. Given the low mileage, also verify the brake discs for pitting and the tyres for sidewall cracking, as components that sit for long periods can degrade through inactivity rather than friction.
