2010 MINI ONE D 1.6L Diesel · ST56 ACY

The roadworthiness status of this 2010 Mini One D is exceptionally sound, demonstrating a stable and improving maintenance trend based on the most recent MOT examination conducted on October 16, 2025, at 110,768 miles, which resulted in a clean pass with zero defects recorded. This fault-free outcome mirrors the preceding test on September 30, 2024, at 106,776 miles, and the earlier inspections from October 2023 and October 2022, indicating that previous owners maintained the vehicle to a high standard. The solitary failure listed alongside the September 2024 pass occurred on the exact same day at identical mileage, which points to a minor administrative oversight or a prompt same-day rectification rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The vehicle accumulates mileage at a steady and entirely predictable rate, averaging roughly 6,923 miles annually over its sixteen-year lifespan, which aligns closely with typical UK driving habits for a diesel hatchback. The mileage progression shows consistent annual use, advancing from 94,007 miles in October 2022 to 99,559 miles in October 2023, then reaching 106,776 miles by late 2024, before settling at 110,768 miles in October 2025. This regular cadence suggests the engine has remained in active service without prolonged periods of storage, helping to prevent the seized calipers and degraded fluid seals frequently associated with neglected low-mileage examples. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on consumable mechanical assemblies that naturally endure wear at this mileage threshold, specifically suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, even though the digital record omits advisory notes. Pay close attention to the diesel engine bay for any oil leaks or timing chain noise, as the 1.6-litre diesel powerplant benefits from diligent oil change intervals. Inspect the exhaust emissions system and turbocharger responsiveness during a road test to confirm the longevity of the forced induction components.
