2011 MINI 1.6L Petrol · WR11 ETF

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT test on 1 April 2026 at 106,264 miles with no defects recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance trend as the car passed its last consecutive inspections. While the history shows two failures in previous years, the immediate rectification of those issues before re-testing suggests that the previous owner was proactive in addressing mechanical faults to maintain the vehicle to legal road standards. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between April 2024 and April 2025, the car covered 3,622 miles, while it clocked another 4,650 miles between April 2025 and April 2026. This low annual usage suggests light use, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine but increases the risk of rubber-based components degrading due to age rather than friction. Although the recent passes are clean, the failures in April 2024 and April 2025 indicate that specific components required attention previously. Since the specific reasons for those failures were not detailed in the provided log, a physical inspection must focus on common MINI failure points of this age. Check the front control arms and suspension bushes for tearing, and inspect the subframe for structural corrosion or rust. Given the low mileage relative to the age, also verify the brake calipers for seizing and ensure the brake lines have not perished from long periods of low use.
