2010 MINI 1.6L Petrol · RO60 ELX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in October 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the latest test has introduced the first mechanical wear-related advisory regarding a worn nearside front Macpherson strut pin or bush. This follows a three-year clean record between 2022 and 2024, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a good standard without significant recurring mechanical failures during that period. The mileage profile indicates very low annual use, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year over its sixteen-year life. Between October 2021 and October 2025, the car covered 28,502 miles, showing a consistent pattern of roughly 7,000 miles per annum. This low mileage often correlates with age-related degradation of rubber components, as seen in the 2021 advisory for perished and cracking on both rear tyres, which is common in vehicles that sit stationary for longer periods rather than suffering from high mileage wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry to address the extent of the Macpherson strut wear identified in the 2025 test. Given the age of the vehicle and the low mileage, it is vital to check for dry rotting in rubber bushes, seals, and brake hoses which may not have yet triggered a failure. While the MOT history shows no structural corrosion or brake issues, the transition from a clean record to a suspension advisory indicates the vehicle is entering a phase where preventative maintenance of age-related components is required.
