2010 MINI 1.6L Diesel · WG10 MLY

The August 2024 MOT at 160,421 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating the vehicle is currently roadworthy. The June 2024 test at 160,357 miles showed brake pad wear to the wear indicator and exhaust emissions exceeding the default limit, which were corrected before the August test, resulting in a stable maintenance trend. Mileage has risen from 77,665 miles in June 2015 to 160,421 miles in August 2024, a gain of roughly 82,756 miles over nine years, or about 9,200 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 2010 model. The interval between the July 2022 test at 135,594 miles and the July 2023 test at 148,393 miles represents a 12,789‑mile increase in one year, showing consistent annual mileage rather than long periods of inactivity. Recurring issues include offside rear direction indicator colour failures, rear position lamp faults, and repeated brake pad wear, indicating persistent brake and lighting system weaknesses. Front shock absorber fluid leaks in 2021 and binding rear brakes in 2024 point to deteriorating suspension bushes and brake calipers. The presence of under‑trays and engine covers may hide corrosion, but no structural rust advisories appear in the record. A buyer should inspect brake pad thickness, caliper movement, and exhaust system condition, verify front shock absorber integrity and suspension bush wear, and check wiring and lamp assemblies for the direction indicator and rear position lamp faults. Assess tyre condition and alignment, and examine the under‑tray and engine cover fitment for signs of rust or damage.
