2013 MINI 2.0L Diesel · T1 MXV

The vehicle's current roadworthiness stands at poor , as the MOT record shows multiple failures and a lack of consistent maintenance. The most recent test on 2026-01-06 at 72,869 miles passed, but this was preceded by a failure on 2023-01-31 at 57,734 miles, indicating a significant gap in the maintenance history. This suggests the owner likely skipped routine servicing, as the vehicle has not undergone a full MOT cycle since the 2023-01-23 failure. The mileage accumulation is uneven, with a notable gap between the 2023 and 2025 tests. While the 2026 test at 72,869 miles is the most recent, the 2025 test at 65,543 miles shows a clear decline in mileage, which contradicts the expectation that a 13-year-old vehicle should maintain high mileage. The rapid drop between 2023 and 2025 suggests the car may have been driven less frequently or the mileage counter was reset, creating a significant discrepancy between recorded mileage and actual usage. Given the recurring faults and the lack of recent MOTs, the vehicle exhibits serious structural and mechanical risks. The failure on 2023-01-31 with fluid leaks in shock absorbers and the repeated "worn close to legal limit" warnings for the front and rear tyres indicate that the suspension and drivetrain are not in good condition. The owner has not addressed the brake disc wear or structural integrity, which could lead to dangerous failure modes. A buyer must inspect the vehicle for binding brakes, rust, and excessive wear on the suspension components to ensure safety.
