2011 MINI 1.6L Petrol · PN11 HCG

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in October 2025 with 80,129 miles. The maintenance trend shows a period of stability following a mechanical failure just three miles prior during the same session. That failure identified a brake fluid warning lamp, worn rear brake pads reaching the wear indicators, and reduced light intensity on the offside front lamp. Since those issues were addressed, the subsequent pass recorded no further defects, suggesting the owner responded promptly to the safety requirements. At approximately 15 years old, the recorded mileage of 80,129 miles is notably low, averaging roughly 5,300 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent over the last three years, with 6,851 miles covered between October 2022 and October 2025. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the extended age of the vehicle often leads to the degradation of rubber components and fluids. The 2022 test supports this concern, flagging multiple tyres for perishing and cracking, which is a common symptom of vehicles that sit stationary for extended periods. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension system, specifically checking the Macpherson strut mounts which were previously flagged as damaged in 2022. Given the history of pitted brake discs and worn pads, a close look at the brake calipers and lines is necessary to ensure no corrosion or binding remains. The previous reports of tyre sidewall damage indicate that the current rubber should be inspected for age-related cracking regardless of remaining tread depth. Monitoring the structural integrity remains a standard priority, although no corrosion-related advisories have appeared in the record to date.
