2013 MINI Cooper 1.6L Petrol · MF63 FDG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 17 February 2026 at 68,236 miles. While the car failed on that same day due to a blown nearside front position lamp, the immediate rectification suggests a proactive owner response. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, with faults being largely limited to minor electrical components and consumable wear rather than systemic mechanical failure or structural degradation. At approximately 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 68,236 miles represents low annual usage, averaging roughly 5,250 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 3,700 miles driven between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 2,782 miles between February 2025 and February 2026. This low mileage typically reduces the strain on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to rubber degradation or brake seizing if the vehicle sits stationary. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry, as the February 2024 test at 61,112 miles flagged a slightly distorted nearside road wheel. This often indicates a past impact or curb strike which could have caused uneven tyre wear or alignment issues. Additionally, the February 2025 advisory noted both front tyres were worn to the legal limit and on the edge, suggesting a potential alignment fault or worn shock absorbers. A physical check of the current tyre tread and steering tracking is necessary to ensure these issues have not recurred.
