Our Verdict
Recommended for buyers seeking a low-mil
Given the low annual mileage of this diesel variant, it is essential to verify the service history for regular oil changes and evidence that the car has been driven enough to maintain the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). Check for a comprehensive service record to ensure the engine has been maintained despite the low usage.
When negotiating, consider the age of the vehicle, as it is now 15 years old. While the mileage is low, rubber components and seals can degrade over time regardless of distance covered. Ensure any recent replacements for the items that failed in 2023 and 2024 are documented.
The 1.6L diesel engine is generally efficient, though costs will vary based on the specific tax band for 2011 emissions. Insurance groups for the R60 are typically moderate, but this can vary based on the driver's profile.
Typical maintenance will involve standard diesel servicing and the replacement of wear-and-tear items. Based on the model's age and engine type, the estimated annual running cost is approximately £1,100-£1,400, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance.
Pay close attention to the braking system; the 2023 MOT recorded front brake pads at less than 1.5mm, so verify when these were last replaced. Inspect the exhaust system and tyres, as these are identified as top failure reasons across the wider MINI R60 population.
Check all external lighting, specifically the position lamps, which caused failures in both 2023 and 2024. Finally, ensure the windscreen wipers are in good working order, as they were flagged as ineffective during the 2023 inspection.
This black 2011 MINI R60 diesel has recorded 64,621 miles, which is below the average annual mileage for this model. MOT records between 2023 and 2025 show two failures, both involving minor items such as position lamps, windscreen wipers, and brake pads. The latest MOT on 21 October 2025 was passed with no defects recorded.
The MINI R60 has an average MOT pass rate of 81.3%, with the most common failures relating to tyres, headlamps, and exhausts.
