2013 MINI 1.6L Diesel · PO63 UEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on January 22, 2026, with 122,660 miles no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears consistent, as the car has returned clean sheets in three of the last five tests. The only noted irregularity occurred in November 2024 when a non-excessive oil leak was flagged, which seems to have been addressed or remained within acceptable tolerances for the subsequent test. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,400 miles per year. Between November 2023 and November 2024, the car covered 4,963 miles, while the shorter interval of 544 miles occurred between the November 2024 and January 2026 tests. This regularity suggests the vehicle is used consistently rather than left sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the preservation of seals, gaskets, and mechanical components. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the oil leak identified in the November 2024 test to ensure the source is a simple valve cover gasket or a more significant engine seal. Given the mileage of over 122,000 miles, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is necessary, as these components often reach fatigue limits at this interval. The buyer should also verify the adult seat belt functionality, as the nearside rear child seat previously obstructed a full inspection of that component.
