2011 MINI 1.6L Petrol · ND11 WFG

The 2025‑03‑13 MOT at 77,679 miles passed without any defects, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance record. Since the 2021 test at 62,950 miles, each subsequent test has shown no failures, suggesting consistent upkeep and no worsening condition. The vehicle’s 15‑year age and 77,679 miles equate to roughly 5,200 miles per year, a figure below the typical average for a car of this vintage. The interval from the 2024‑02‑01 test (71,075 miles) to the 2025‑03‑13 test (77,679 miles) covered 6,604 miles over 13 months, aligning with the annual average and showing no abrupt mileage spikes. Earlier gaps, such as the 2022‑10‑26 to 2024‑02‑01 period, also reflect steady accumulation at about 2,000 miles per year, reinforcing a stable usage pattern. A buyer should therefore focus on mechanical components that commonly exhibit wear despite a clean MOT: suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or corrosion, brake discs and calipers for scoring or binding, and the exhaust system for rust or leaks. Inspect the chassis rails and wheel arches for rust, and verify that fluid levels and condition are within spec, as low mileage does not guarantee absence of ageing components. While the documented history shows no recurring faults, a physical examination is essential to confirm that suspension components have not seized, that brake wear remains within limits, and that no hidden corrosion compromises structural integrity. Finally, check tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition, and fluid freshness, as these consumables may have been neglected despite the vehicle’s low usage.
