2011 MINI 1.6L Petrol · SA61 HTK

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend over the last four years. The most recent inspection in April 2026 at 67,570 miles resulted in a pass, despite flagging thin rear brake pads. This represents the only defect noted since 2022, suggesting that the mechanical components and structural integrity have generally been maintained without recurring failures or escalating issues in previous tests. The mileage profile is notably low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per annum. There is a visible spike in usage between May 2023 and May 2024, where the car covered 12,153 miles in just thirteen months. Following this period, usage dropped back down, with only 4,771 miles recorded between the 2024 and 2026 tests. This intermittent usage can sometimes lead to aged rubber components or fluid degradation, though the MOT history shows no evidence of mechanical neglect. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the rear braking system to ensure the thin pads are replaced before the rotors suffer heat damage. Given the low annual mileage, it is also critical to check the suspension bushings for perishability and inspect the tyres for sidew cracking, which often affects vehicles that sit for extended periods. The chassis should be examined for corrosion at typical mounting points, although the record has not flagged any structural advisories to date.
