Our Verdict
A sensible choice for those seeking a MI
When inspecting this specific 1.6L petrol MINI, focus on the mechanical components that were flagged in the 2022 MOT. Although the 2024 and 2026 tests showed no defects, you should verify that the brake discs and tyres were replaced following that advisory. Ask the seller for receipts to confirm these specific repairs were completed.
Beyond the MOT history, check the service history for regular oil changes, as the 1598cc engine requires consistent maintenance. Given the mileage is higher than the aggregate annual average, pay close attention to the condition of the suspension components and any potential leaks around the engine bay.
Running this MINI involves moderate costs typical of a 1.6L petrol hatchback. Fuel economy will depend heavily on driving style, but it is generally efficient for its class. As a 2013 model, the tax band and insurance group should be relatively predictable, though you should obtain a specific quote based on your personal profile.
Maintenance costs should be budgeted for periodic items like tyres and brakes, which have appeared in the vehicle's history. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, is approximately £1,100-£1,400.
Based on the 2022 MOT record, specifically inspect the braking system. While the 2024 and 2026 tests were clean, check the brake pads and discs for any signs of uneven wear or scoring. It is also worth checking the current tread depth and condition of the front tyres to ensure they are not wearing on the edges, as seen in previous tests.
Additionally, keep an eye on lighting components. While this vehicle has passed recent tests, 'headlamp' is one of the top failure reasons for this model aggregate, so ensure all bulbs and lenses are clear and functional.
This 2013 black MINI (ST04OPM) has covered 51,534 miles, which is notably higher than the model average of 4,507 miles per year. While the 2022 MOT recorded issues with brake discs and front tyre wear, the three most recent tests have all passed with no defects recorded. The vehicle's mileage is consistent with typical usage for a petrol 1.6L model of this age.
The MINI model shows an average MOT pass rate of 75.6% across 326,575 analysed vehicles, with common failure points including headlamps, tyres, and brake pipes.
