2011 MINI 1.6L Diesel · YH61 FYY

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT in February 2026 at 130,592 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable and improving following a failure in early 2024. Since that failure, the car has undergone two consecutive tests without any advisories, suggesting that the current owner is addressing identified issues promptly and maintaining the vehicle to a functional standard. At 130,592 miles over 15 years, the MINI averages approximately 8,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a smaller hatchback. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 7,000 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 7,000 miles between February 2025 and February 2026. This regular driving interval often helps prevent the rubber degradation and brake corrosion common in vehicles that sit stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and geometry based on the February 2024 failure. The tester flagged both front tyres below the legal limit and a snapped headlamp levelling device on the lower arm. While these issues were rectified, the buyer should check for uneven tyre wear which might indicate worn bushes or incorrect alignment. The 2023 advisory regarding a nearside rear tyre worn on the edge suggests a recurring history of alignment issues or camber wear that warrants close scrutiny to ensure suspension components are not prematurely failing.
