Our Verdict
This 2010 MINI represents a relatively s
When viewing this vehicle, prioritise checking the service history to see how the 1598cc engine has been maintained, particularly regarding timing chain health which is a known consideration for this era of MINI. Given the recent MOT advisory regarding front tyre wear, ensure that all four tyres have sufficient tread and are not showing uneven wear, which could indicate alignment issues.
Negotiate on the basis of any immediate maintenance required, such as the tyres noted in the February 2026 test. Ask for evidence of recent brake inspections, as brake pipes are a common failure point for this model type across the wider dataset.
As a 1.6L petrol model, running costs will be moderate. Fuel economy will depend heavily on driving style, but you should expect typical hatchback consumption for a 2010 vehicle. Tax and insurance groups for this specific engine size are generally mid-range for the UK market.
Maintenance costs should be budgeted for regular consumable replacements. While the MOT history hasn't flagged major component failures recently, the high mileage relative to the model average suggests that wear-and-tear items like suspension components and brakes should be factored into your annual budget.
Focus your inspection on the tyres; the February 2026 MOT specifically flagged the nearside and offside front tyres as being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges. Check for any signs of uneven wear which might suggest suspension or tracking issues.
Additionally, although not flagged in this vehicle's specific history, the aggregate data for this model shows headlamps and brake pipes as top failure reasons. It is worth checking the clarity of the headlight lenses and inspecting the underside for any signs of corrosion or weeping around the braking system.
This black 1.6L petrol MINI has covered 95,687 miles since its first registration in March 2010. The MOT history shows a pattern of passing, with the most recent test in February 2026 noting tyre wear on both front tyres. Compared to the model aggregate average annual mileage of 4,507, this vehicle has been driven significantly more than the typical example of this age.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 75.6% MOT pass rate, with common failures related to headlamps, tyres, and brake pipes.
