2011 MINI 1.6L Diesel · WD61 GXK

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, passing its most recent MOT on 21 November 2025 at 148,103 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record reveals a consistent pattern of immediate rectification following day-of-day failures. In both 2024 and 2025, the car failed the initial test only to pass the very following day. This suggests the previous owner prioritizes reactive maintenance, addressing faults only to meet legal requirements rather than following a proactive preventative service schedule. At 148,103 miles over 15 years, the MINI averages approximately 9,874 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for its age. Consistent use is evident in the data, with 15,145 miles covered between the November 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 15,137 miles recorded between November 2024 and 2025. This steady accumulation indicates the vehicle has been used regularly rather than left stationary, which helps prevent internal corrosion and seal degradation associated with long periods. While the most recent tests show no recorded advisories, the recurring failures immediately prior to passing warrant a thorough physical inspection of components likely to trigger minor faults. A buyer should specifically verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, which frequently wear out on this model at this mileage. Given the age, the brake system should be checked for binding calipers or thin discs. Additionally, the structural integrity of the chassis needs to be examined for surface rust, as the MOT record does not explicitly detail the progression of corrosion until it reaches a failure threshold.
