2011 MINI (R57) 2.0L Diesel · Y9 GSK

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 8 July 2026 with 107,620 miles. The history reflects a stable maintenance trend, as the last three consecutive tests resulted in no defects or advisories. The single failure recorded in December 2024 was an isolated incident involving a damaged nearside front outer tyre, which was rectified immediately given the successful retest that same day. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's fifteen-year age, averaging approximately 7,175 miles per year. The data shows a steady rate of use, with roughly 5,000 miles covered between November 2023 and October 2024, and another 6,300 miles recorded between December 2024 and July 2026. This regular usage suggests the car is driven consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the preservation of rubber components and engine fluid integrity. While the MOT record is clear of mechanical advisories, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of common R57 wear points that MOT tests often miss. At 107,000 miles, the suspension bushes and coil springs are prone to significant wear or cracking. Given the age of the vehicle, check the underbody for corrosion, particularly around the rear subframe and exhaust mounting points, as the MOT only flags structural rust once it reaches a legal failure threshold.
