2011 MINI (R60) 1.6L Petrol · NX11 LDL

The vehicle presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 27 January 2026 at 66,149 miles with zero defects recorded. The preceding tests in January 2025 and January 2024 each show a failed entry immediately followed by a passed entry on the identical mileage, indicating the tester flagged an issue that was rectified before the same-day or subsequent retest. No recurring faults appear in the record, and the most recent test confirms all major safety systems met the standard on the first attempt. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2011 vehicle, averaging roughly 4,410 miles per year. Between the January 2025 test at 61,815 miles and the January 2026 test at 66,149 miles, the car covered approximately 4,334 miles in twelve months, consistent with the long-term average. The gap between January 2024 at 58,045 miles and January 2025 at 61,815 miles shows a similar pattern of 3,770 miles over the year. There are no sudden spikes or suspicious drops in recorded mileage, and the odometer progression reads as coherent and plausible for a lightly used vehicle. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still inspect the underside for corrosion, paying particular attention to suspension mounting points, subframes, and brake lines, as the R60 platform is known to develop structural rust even on low-mileage examples that have spent long periods stationary. The near-identical fail-then-pass entries in both 2024 and 2025 suggest minor defects were identified and corrected, so checking the condition of consumable components such as tyre tread depth, brake disc thickness, and suspension bushes will confirm whether ongoing upkeep has continued into 2026. A brief road test should verify that the handbrake holds firmly on a gradient and that the steering tracks straight, as binding rear calipers and worn track rod ends are common failure points on this model that may not always trigger an MOT advisory.
