2010 MINI 1.6L Petrol · LD60 AEP

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy status following the January 2026 test at 88,151 miles, where the tester issued a pass after an earlier same-day failure with no defects logged. The maintenance trend appears stable across the recorded history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. A clean record over the last two years suggests the previous keeper maintained basic test compliance, though the duplicated failure and pass entries on both 2024-01-05 and 2026-01-07 indicate administrative re-tests rather than resolved defects. The odometer shows 88,151 miles against a 2010 build, equating to roughly 5,500 miles per year and confirming light use for its age. Between the December 2024 test at 86,484 miles and the January 2026 test at 88,151 miles the car covered only 1,667 miles, implying extended standing periods that can accelerate rubber perishing and brake corrosion. Prior to that, the gap from 84,075 miles in January 2024 to 86,484 miles in December 2024 shows similar low accumulation. The sparse MOT data gives no evidence of rapid wear on drivetrain or suspension components. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low-mileage-but-aged profile and likely static storage. The absence of recorded advisories does not preclude hidden structural corrosion on sills or subframes, a known MINI weak point after sixteen winters. Verify the brake calipers are free and not binding after prolonged inactivity, and check exhaust emissions and tyre sidewall condition for perishing before purchase.
