Our Verdict
This MINI (R60) is a solid option for buyers seeking a well-documented example with a clean recent history. The lack of defects in the last three consecutive MOT tests is a positive indicator for a vehicle of this age.
When viewing this R60 model, focus on the service history to complement the MOT data. While the MOTs show no recent defects, you should confirm that oil changes and cooling system inspections have been performed regularly, as these are vital for the 1598cc petrol engine.
Negotiate based on the mileage and the fact that it has been driven slightly more than the model average of 5,876 miles per year. Check for any signs of uneven tyre wear or headlamp clouding, as these are common failure points for this specific model across the wider dataset.
Running costs for this 1.6L MINI will be typical for a premium small hatchback. Expect moderate fuel economy suitable for mixed driving, though performance will depend on driving style.
Insurance groups for the R60 vary, so obtaining a quote is essential. Maintenance costs should be factored in for regular consumables like tyres and brakes. Given the model's aggregate data, budget for occasional replacements of headlamps or exhaust components, which are noted as common failure reasons for this vehicle type.
Based on the aggregate data for this model, pay close attention to the condition of the tyres and the brightness of the headlamps, as these are frequent causes of MOT failure.
Although this specific vehicle has had no defects recorded since 2023, you should still inspect the exhaust system for any signs of corrosion or leaks. Additionally, check the brake pads and discs, as these are standard wear items that can impact both safety and MOT results.
This 2011 silver MINI features a 1.6L petrol engine and has covered 71,742 miles as of its last test in February 2026.

While it experienced one failure in March 2023, the vehicle has maintained a clean record since then.
The MINI R60 shows an average MOT pass rate of 81.7% across 13,289 analysed vehicles, with tyres, headlamps, and exhausts being the primary failure points.
