2013 MINI 1.6L Petrol · X7 HOB

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 18 June 2026 at 40,698 miles with no recorded defects. This clean pass, following a similar defect-free result in June 2025, indicates a stable and well-maintained condition. While the vehicle failed the initial 2025 inspection due to a minor lighting fault, the immediate rectification and subsequent clean pass suggest a proactive approach to basic maintenance and compliance. With an average annual usage of approximately 3,131 miles, this MINI has seen exceptionally light duty over its thirteen-year lifespan. The mileage accumulation remains consistent and predictable, showing no evidence of long-term storage or erratic usage patterns. The steady, low-mileage progression from 36,521 miles in June 2023 to the present figure suggests the vehicle has been used primarily for short local trips rather than high-speed motorway commuting. Potential buyers should focus their physical inspection on components prone to degradation through age rather than heavy wear. Given the low mileage, inspect the rubber suspension bushes, engine mounts, and cooling hoses for signs of perishing or cracking, as these components often deteriorate due to time regardless of distance covered. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion caused by extended periods of inactivity and verify that the tyres show even wear patterns. The lack of recurring mechanical advisories in the recent history is encouraging, but a thorough check of the undercarriage for any early signs of corrosion remains a prudent step for a vehicle of this age.
