2010 MINI 1.6L Petrol · LS60 PJV

The vehicle failed its most recent MOT test on 2025-06-10 due to incorrectly coloured front and rear direction indicators, indicating a need for replacement of these lighting components. Despite this failure, the vehicle passed on the same day after items were removed from the driver's view, suggesting the issue was cosmetic rather than mechanical. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, with no significant mechanical issues noted in the past three years. The vehicle's mileage of 82,033 miles over 16 years equates to approximately 5,127 miles annually, which is relatively low. This low mileage could indicate infrequent use or periods of disuse, potentially reducing wear on major components such as the engine, transmission, and suspension. Notably, there is a gap of over six years between the 2019 MOT and the 2022 MOT, suggesting possible periods of non-use or irregular service. However, the consistent passing results since 2022 indicate regular checks and timely repairs. Buyers should focus on inspecting the direction indicators for proper function and correct colour, as the most recent failure highlighted this issue. Additionally, given the low mileage, attention should be paid to the brake pads and discs, which showed signs of wear in 2022. Although the brakes were not excessively worn at that time, they warrant close examination during a pre-purchase inspection to ensure they remain in good condition. The suspension and steering systems should also be checked for any signs of wear or play, as these components can degrade over time even with low mileage. Lastly, a thorough visual inspection for any signs of corrosion, particularly around the chassis and underbody, is advisable, as this can be a hidden but significant issue in older vehicles.
