2010 MINI ONE 1.6L Petrol · ML60 KYV

The vehicle remains roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass in April 2026 at 118,272 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car maintained clean test sheets for three consecutive years between 2023 and 2025. While the latest test introduced several minor advisories regarding lighting and tyre wear, these are non-hazardous consumable issues that suggest a reactive approach to basic upkeep rather than a deep-seated mechanical failure. At 118,272 miles over 16 years, the MINI has averaged approximately 7,400 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage with a notable jump of over 8,600 miles between March 2025 and April 2026, and another 6,700 miles in the year preceding that. This regular operation generally suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which helps prevent common issues associated with age like seized components or degraded fluid seals. A buyer should prioritize a thorough inspection of the tyres, as the record shows them worn close to the legal limit appearing in 2022 and again in 2026. The recurring mention of edge wear on the front tyres indicates a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require attention. Additionally, the failure of the offside rear position lamp and the nearside registration plate lamp in the 2026 test must be verified as rectified to meet legal standards. Given the absence of structural corrosion or brake failures in the history, the primary focus should remain on the chassis-related components common to this model. Inspect the rubber bushings in the suspension arms and check the coil springs for cracks, as the MOT does not fully test for play. The history suggests a well-used vehicle that has been maintained to a functional standard, but the recent advisories indicate it is due for routine preventative maintenance.
