2010 MINI 1.6L Petrol · SH10 ABU

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following the April 2026 test at 75,507 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable across the supplied history, with no advisories or mechanical faults logged at any stage. The owner cleared the March 2026 failure at 75,431 miles and returned the car for a pass three weeks later, though the failure entry carries no listed defect, suggesting an administrative or unrecorded minor issue rather than a hard mechanical fault. Mileage sits low for a 2010 car at 75,507 recorded miles, an average of roughly 4,700 miles per year. The record shows gentle accumulation: 70,647 miles in December 2023, 71,495 at the July 2024 failure, 71,545 by April 2025, then 75,431 in March 2026. The jump between April 2025 and March 2026 accounts for nearly 4,000 miles, the largest single interval, yet still modest. Sparse clean tests imply the car spent periods lightly used or stationary, with no consumable wear or corrosion flagged across sixteen years. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe integrity, as the MINI platform is prone to rear subframe corrosion that a pass with no defects may not detail. Check brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and confirm the exhaust emissions meet expectation for a low-mileage N14 or N12 engine. Verify the March 2026 failure cause with the testing station, since the blank defect field leaves the reason unverified. The clean MOT trail points to an owner who kept the car legally tested but the absence of advisories across this age group is unusual and warrants a physical check of structural integrity and tyre condition. Low annual use can hide perished rubbers and surface corrosion that a pass does not capture.
