2010 MINI (R60) 1.6L Diesel · YA10 EZT

The 2010 MINI Countryman (R60) presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no recorded defects across its five most recent MOT tests. The latest examination on 20 January 2023 at 140,414 miles returned a clean pass with no advisories, confirming the vehicle cleared the test in sound mechanical condition roughly three and a half years before the current date. Annual mileage averages around 8,776 miles, consistent with typical use for a sixteen-year-old vehicle. The records show steady accumulation: 101,027 miles in September 2018, rising to 111,038 by September 2019, 119,224 in September 2020, 125,657 in October 2021, and 140,414 by January 2023. A gap of roughly fourteen months separates the 2021 and 2023 tests, with no entry logged for 2022, suggesting the car saw lighter running or a lapsed test cycle in that period. The DVSA data itself is sparse and clean, carrying no flags on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion. Given the absence of advisories, the buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. Standing time implied by the 2022 gap raises the risk of perished rubber components, seized calipers, or underbody corrosion unseen by the tester. The R60 platform is prone to front lower arm wear and rear trailing bush degradation by this mileage, so these items warrant physical checks. Verify the cambelt or chain service history, as no maintenance beyond MOT is evidenced here. Confirm brake disc thickness and coil spring condition, since the 140,414-mile figure places the car well into its consumable lifecycle despite the clean test record.
