Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for imme
When inspecting this specific vehicle, focus on the tyre condition and suspension setup. The most recent MOT in April 2026 noted nearside front inner tyre wear and an offside front suspension arm bush issue. You should negotiate the price downwards to account for the likely need for a new set of tyres and potentially a suspension arm replacement soon.
Request evidence of any recent service history, particularly regarding the 2.0L diesel engine's timing chain and oil changes. Given the mileage is approaching six figures, check for any signs of oil leaks or excessive smoke from the exhaust, which are common concerns for high-mileage diesel engines of this era.
As a 1995cc diesel, this MINI is designed for better fuel economy on longer journeys compared to petrol variants, though running costs will be influenced by its 18-inch runflat tyres. Insurance groups for this model vary, so obtain a quote based on the specific registration LD63OGK.
Maintenance costs may be slightly higher due to the requirement for runflat tyres and the potential for suspension component wear as seen in the MOT records. Expect an estimated annual running cost of approximately £1,200-£1,500, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance.
Pay close attention to the tyres; the MOT history shows a recurring issue with inner tyre wear (noted in 2024 and 2026), which often indicates an alignment or tracking problem. Inspect the nearside front and offside front suspension areas, as the 2026 MOT specifically flagged a worn suspension arm pin or bush.
Additionally, check the condition of the braking system and headlamps, as these are the most common failure points for this model aggregate. Ensure the child seat mentioned in the 2026 MOT is removed during your inspection so you can fully access and check the condition of the adult seat belts.
This 2013 red MINI Diesel has covered 97,237 miles since its first registration in November 2013. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing, but recent records indicate issues with tyre wear and suspension components. The mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 4,507 miles per year.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 75.6% MOT pass rate, with headlamps, tyres, and brake pipes being the most frequent causes of failure.
