2010 MINI 1.6L Petrol · SP60 AOB

This vehicle presents as mechanically stable with a clean MOT record. The most recent test on 20 April 2026 at 87,821 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating the car is currently roadworthy. The absence of advisories across multiple years suggests a consistent level of maintenance or a vehicle that has avoided common age-related degradation. The mileage is notably low for a 2010 model, averaging roughly 5,489 miles per year. There is a significant jump in usage between April 2021 and April 2022, where the odometer rose from 47,988 to 67,228 miles. Since that period of higher activity, the annual mileage has dropped sharply, with only 2,643 miles added between April 2023 and April 2026. This pattern suggests the car has spent long periods stationary in recent years. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that perish due to inactivity rather than wear. While the MOT history shows no recurring faults with suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion, low-use vehicles often suffer from seized brake calipers or perished rubber seals. Check for flat spots on the tyres and inspect the battery health, as the low mileage since 2023 increases the risk of electrical degradation. The failure on 20 April 2022 was resolved the following day at the same mileage, though the record lists no specific defects for either the failure or the subsequent pass. This is an anomaly in the data but does not indicate a chronic mechanical trend. Given the clean record, a manual check for oil leaks and a test of the cooling system will confirm if the vehicle has been maintained during its periods of dormancy.
