2011 MINI 1.6L Petrol · LR11 LUD

The most recent MOT on 29 August 2023 at 117,420 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness, though the same day a fail was logged at identical mileage with no defects noted, indicating a possible re‑test rather than a recurring fault; the overall maintenance trend remains stable across the 2021‑2023 series. Mileage increased from 106,252 miles in August 2021 to 114,569 miles in August 2022 (8,317 miles in one year) and then to 117,420 miles in August 2023 (2,851 miles the next year), showing consistent use without prolonged periods of inactivity and matching the typical 7,800 miles per year for a 15‑year‑old vehicle. A buyer should therefore inspect the rear suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify the condition of the brake discs and calipers for binding or excessive wear, examine the exhaust system for corrosion or leaks, and check the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust, as these components are the most likely to exhibit deterioration despite the clean defect record. Overall the vehicle shows no evidence of chronic mechanical failure, but a detailed physical assessment of the highlighted components is essential to confirm the stability reflected in the MOT history.
