2010 MINI 1.6L Petrol · YY10 ABX

The vehicle is currently not roadworthy based on the most recent MOT record. The test on 26 February 2025 resulted in a failure at 133,463 miles. While the record shows no specific defects listed for that date, the failure status remains the definitive legal standing. The maintenance trend appears stable up until this point, with a clean run of passes between 2022 and 2024. The mileage is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 8,341 miles per year. The distance covered between the April 2022 test at 111,155 miles and the February 2024 test at 128,995 miles shows a steady usage pattern. There is a slight increase in annual mileage leading up to the final recorded test in February 2025. A buyer must verify the exact cause of the February 2025 failure, as the absence of recorded defects in the provided data is atypical for a failed test. Given the car is 16 years old and has exceeded 130,000 miles, a physical inspection should prioritise structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and suspension mounting points. Check for wear on high-mileage components including the timing chain, clutch operation, and suspension bushes. The lack of previous advisories suggests a well-maintained vehicle, but the current failed status requires immediate clarification and rectification before the car is driven on public roads.
