2010 MINI 1.6L Diesel · LS60 TZK

The vehicle presents a stable and currently sound roadworthiness status, culminating in a clean pass on 17 February 2026 at 159,692 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, showing no recurring mechanical or structural failures. Although the record shows failed tests on 22 November 2023 and 4 February 2025, both entries explicitly list no defects, indicating these were likely retests or administrative anomalies rather than unresolved mechanical faults. The subsequent clean passes confirm the vehicle met required standards without ongoing issues. Covering roughly 9,981 miles per year, the mileage accumulation is entirely typical for a 2010 vehicle, reflecting consistent use without prolonged periods of standing or excessively high annual mileage. The recorded intervals show steady progression: 153,093 miles in November 2023, 158,440 miles in February 2025, and 159,692 miles in February 2026. This equates to approximately 5,347 miles over the 14-month gap between 2023 and 2025, and 1,252 miles over the subsequent 12 months, suggesting a recent reduction in daily use or a shorter commuting pattern. Despite the clean MOT record, a physical inspection should focus on common wear areas for this marque. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, as high-mileage MINIs frequently suffer from cracking or sagging. Check the brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and closely inspect the subframes and sills for corrosion, which poses a serious structural risk on older models. Tyre tread depth and condition warrant close scrutiny, given the recent drop in annual mileage, as prolonged standing can cause flat spots or sidewall perishing.
