Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to recent suspe
When inspecting this MINI, prioritise a thorough check of the suspension system. The most recent MOT in May 2026 highlighted a corroded nearside front coil spring and deteriorated anti-roll bar linkage dust covers on both sides. You should ask if these components have been replaced since the test passed.
Additionally, review the tyre condition closely. The 2025 and 2022 records both mention tyres worn close to the legal limit or on the edges, suggesting that maintenance of consumables may be reactive rather than proactive. Check the service history for evidence of regular oil changes, which is vital for the 1.6L diesel engine, and confirm that the missing under trays noted in 2023 have been properly refitted.
As a 1598cc diesel, this MINI is designed for efficiency, though actual fuel economy will depend on driving style and maintenance. Tax and insurance groups vary, but diesel MINIs typically fall into mid-range brackets.
Maintenance costs may be influenced by the recent MOT findings regarding suspension parts. Expect typical diesel servicing costs, but budget for potential upcoming work on tyres and suspension components given the patterns seen in the 2025 and 2026 records.
Focus heavily on the front suspension. The 2026 MOT specifically flagged a corroded nearside front coil spring and deteriorated anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust covers; inspect these areas for signs of further rust or play in the joints.
Check the underside of the vehicle to ensure the under trays, which were recorded as missing in 2023, are present and securely fastened. Finally, inspect the tyres across all four corners to ensure they are not worn on the edges, a recurring issue noted in the 2022 and 2025 MOT tests.
This 2011 white MINI (R58) diesel has covered 64,182 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 4,783 miles per year. The MOT history shows a transition from no defects in 2024 to several suspension and tyre issues in 2025 and 2026. Buyers should note the recent focus on corrosion and worn components in the latest test.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 80.5% MOT pass rate, with common failure points including shock absorbers and windscreen wipers.
