1999 Rover MINI 1.3L Petrol · S1 WKS

The 1999 Rover Mini presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 August 2025 at 15,816 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 15,816 miles against 27 years of age, an average of roughly 586 miles per year. The DVSA entries show minimal accumulation: 15,560 miles on 31 May 2022, 15,655 on 26 May 2023, 15,699 on 25 July 2024, and 15,816 on 2 August 2025. The sparse, low-increment data implies long periods of storage with light occasional use rather than active daily driving. A duplicate entry for 31 May 2022 shows one failed and one passed test at identical mileage with no defects logged, a likely administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories or defects appear across any test, so the record gives no direct signal of worn suspension bushes, corroded structural members, or failing brake components. A buyer should still inspect the subframe and sills for rust given the age and likely standing periods, and check tyre sidewall cracking from disuse. Verify the brake calipers are not seizing after low-mileage storage. The clean MOT trail suggests conscientious, if minimal, upkeep by prior keepers. Confirm the 2022 duplicate through DVSA before purchase, but on the evidence the vehicle shows no worsening pattern and remains mechanically sound per official testing.
