2006 MINI 1.6L Petrol · LR06 FWB

The vehicle is roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 27 March 2026 at 79,849 miles. The record shows a stable maintenance pattern; after a single failure on 4 May 2023 at the same mileage, the car passed a re‑test on 13 May 2023 and has continued to pass each subsequent annual test without further defects. Mileage averages roughly 4,000 miles per year over a twenty‑year lifespan, indicating light use. Between the 13 May 2023 test (78,453 mi) and the 2 May 2024 test (79,331 mi) the car added only 878 miles, and the increase to 79,534 mi by 11 April 2025 and 79,849 mi by March 2026 reflects similarly modest annual accruals. No sudden spikes or prolonged gaps appear in the log, suggesting consistent, low‑intensity operation rather than periods of heavy loading or extended storage. A prospective buyer should verify that the low‑mileage history has not concealed wear on consumables. Inspect tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, as even modest use can hide uneven wear. Examine the brake discs and pads for glazing or thinning, especially since a failure was recorded in May 2023, albeit without a listed advisory. Check suspension components—bushes, coil springs, and mounting points—for any signs of corrosion or fatigue, and scan the under‑carriage for rust that might not have triggered an MOT advisory but could affect structural integrity. A brief road test to confirm smooth steering, absence of binding brakes, and clean exhaust emissions will round out the assessment.
