2013 MINI 1.6L Diesel · SH11 YNH

The 2026‑02‑02 MOT at 78,020 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming the Mini is currently roadworthy and that the maintenance trend has remained stable since the 2018 brake‑pad failure, with all subsequent tests showing no recorded faults. Mileage has increased steadily from 39,649 miles in January 2016 to 78,020 miles in February 2026, averaging roughly 6,000 miles per year, which matches the vehicle’s 13‑year age and indicates regular use without prolonged periods of standing. The interval between each MOT is about one year, covering 1,500‑2,000 miles per interval, a pattern consistent with typical annual usage. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or corrosion, verify brake pad thickness and disc condition, examine the front brake hose for the previously noted restriction that caused fouling, assess tyre tread depth and side‑wall perishing, and look for structural rust on the chassis, wheel arches and suspension mounting points, while also checking the windscreen for existing damage and the rear brake pad warning wire for signs of looseness.
