2010 MINI ONE Graphite 1.6L Petrol · PY10 KBO

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT test on 13 May 2025 at 129,217 miles. While the current status is clean, the maintenance history shows a recurring pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. In both 2024 and 2025, the vehicle failed the initial test but passed shortly thereafter, suggesting that the previous owner addressed specific defects only when prompted rather than through preventative maintenance. At sixteen years old, the recorded 129,217 miles represent an average annual usage of approximately 8,000 miles, which is consistent with typical UK mileage patterns. There is a significant gap in the service record between the December 2022 test and the April 2024 test, during which the car covered over 15,000 miles. The more recent interval of 11,312 miles between April 2024 and May 2025 indicates a consistent current usage rate, which places predictable stress on rubber components, suspension bushings, and drivetrain elements. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking system, as the history of test failures often masks components operating at the limit of their tolerance. Given the age and mileage of this MINI, check for play in control arm bushes and subframe corrosion, which are common failure points on this model. Although the latest record shows no structural defects, the age of the vehicle necessitates a close look at the sills and floor pans to ensure deep-seated rust has not compromised the integrity of the chassis.
