2013 MINI ONE 1.6L Petrol · MT62 VRM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. The most recent MOT test on 8 October 2025 at 94,484 miles resulted in a failure due to a worn offside front tyre and a non-functional dipped beam. While the car passed immediately after these repairs, the recurrence of failures for lighting and tyres suggests that the owner only addresses issues when a test fails rather than performing routine inspections. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's thirteen-year age, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. There is a clear gap of 4,682 miles between the October 2024 test at 89,802 miles and the October 2025 test at 94,484 miles. This steady accumulation suggests regular use, though the relatively low annual mileage for a 2013 MINI means that rubber-based components and metal hardware may be suffering from agerelated degradation regardless of the distance driven. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front and rear subframes, as the October 2024 record flagged general surface corrosion. While surface rust is common on this model, it should be monitored for deep pitting or thinning that compromises structural integrity. The failure in 2023 due to a sidewall bulge and the subsequent edge-wear failure in 2025 point to potential alignment issues or suspension geometry problems. You should check the suspension bushes and ball joints for excessive play to ensure uneven tyre wear is not causing premature component failure.
