2011 MINI 1.6L Petrol · ML61 AEB

The vehicle presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 7 March 2026 at 88,919 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding successful tests show no advisories or faults. The owner has kept the car to a clean MOT standard across the available history, with no worsening mechanical issues emerging over time. Recorded mileage sits at 88,919 miles against a 2011 build, averaging roughly 5,928 miles per year. The history shows light use: 64,080 miles at the August 2022 test, 73,257 miles in January 2024, 83,383 miles in April 2025, and 88,919 miles in March 2026. A failed test on 9 January 2024 at 73,257 miles was followed by a pass on 10 January 2024 at the same mileage with no defects listed, indicating a clerical or presentation failure rather than a mechanical fault. The sparse record and low annual accumulation suggest long periods of standing or gentle local use rather than sustained motorway wear. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and low-use profile, as standing vehicles often develop perished rubber components and surface corrosion unseen in a clean MOT. The January 2024 same-mileage fail-pass pair warrants a check of the DVSA failure reason to confirm no suppressed defect. No recurring faults, structural integrity concerns, or exhaust emissions issues appear in the record, so focus remains on age-related consumable degradation rather than active mechanical risk.
