2011 MINI Cooper 1.6L Petrol · RF11 EBK

The vehicle currently holds a PASSED MOT on 2025-08-13 at 90,483 miles, indicating that the most recent inspection was performed within the last six months. This marks the end of a three-year period of failure, with the most recent test failing on 2025-08-05 at 90,426 miles, suggesting that the roadworthiness has deteriorated significantly over the intervening years. The consistent failure pattern indicates that the vehicle has not undergone adequate maintenance, as the MOT record shows no defects recorded in the most recent test. The mileage accumulation during the period of failure is substantial, with the vehicle having accumulated over 6,000 miles in a span of roughly two years. While the 2025-08-13 test at 90,483 miles is typical for an older model, the gap between the 2025-08-05 failure and the 2025-08-13 pass suggests that the vehicle has not been kept in a fully functional state throughout this time. The lack of defects in the 2025-08-13 test, despite the high mileage, implies that the suspension and drivetrain components have not been adequately inspected or serviced, which is a critical indicator of the vehicle's structural integrity. Given the recurring faults and the gap between the most recent test and the failure date, a buyer should inspect the vehicle in person for binding rear brakes, binding calipers, and corrosion on the chassis. The lack of defects in the 2025-08-13 test indicates that the suspension bushings and coil springs have likely been replaced, but the binding calipers and brake discs may still be in a compromised state. Structural integrity must be verified for the suspension system and the drivetrain, as the vehicle has not been kept in a fully functional state for over two years.
