In 2023 UK MOT tests, a 2010 MINI typically showed about 128,709 km (79,976 mi) on the odometer; the middle 80% of readings fell between 73,930 and 193,372 km. Based on 38,716 readings in the DVSA anonymised MOT dataset (Open Government Licence v3.0).

How the 2010 MINI compares

This page's median is 30% lower than the median of medians for the other 2010 models on OdoTrace (184,877 km, n = 18); this comparison set is not the UK fleet. The older MINI 2009 page has a higher median, 135,181 km (5% above this one). Dividing this page's median by the car's age at the 2023 tests (age in years: 13) gives roughly 9,900 km a year, a simple average derived from the median, not a measured annual distance. This page's readings are spread much like those of the other 2010 models on OdoTrace (n = 18): the 10th to 90th percentile range is 93% of the median, against 88%.

This historical band is not a current-year estimate. Cars have aged since 2023; repeated tests may count the same vehicle more than once.

Where does this car sit?

Enter the odometer reading from a listing to see where it falls for the 2010 MINI.

Enter kilometres, for example 120000.

A low reading is a reason to investigate, not proof of a rollback.

Want to check a specific car instead of the model average? Check its VIN to see decoded details and any available vehicle-specific mileage records. The result shows gaps when records are missing.

CO2 and consumption (EU type approval)

EU type-approval figures for the 2010 MINI, by fuel. Consumption is a test-cycle figure and understates real world use, so treat any running-cost estimate as a floor.

EU recall signals for the MINI

Model-level recall activity from EU market registers. Counts are advisory and are shown per source, never added together. Not specific to this car.

Recalls apply to production windows, not model years alone. See the full per source breakdown, with dates and the reported risk, on the MINI recalls page.

UK MOT reliability, reference data from the UK fleet

UK MOT fleet data, a large and well-documented reference fleet. This is UK data, shown here only because the model also carries an EU signal above.

Of 32,047 initial (first-attempt) class 4 MOT tests for 2010 MINI cars in 2023, 23.1% failed. That is lower than the 32.5% median for cars of the same age in this fleet. (Difference: 9.4 percentage points)

Source: DVSA anonymised MOT test results 2023, Open Government Licence v3.0. A UK fleet reference, not a per-car result. The UK MOT record is a large, well-documented reference fleet, clearly labelled as UK data rather than data from your market. It is not a substitute for an inspection.

What this is, and what it is not

These figures show an aggregate distribution for many 2010 MINI cars, computed from UK DVSA MOT odometer readings as a fleet proxy. The MOT dataset is anonymised and contains no VIN or personal data.

It is not a per-VIN history. It cannot tell you the mileage of one specific car or whether a particular odometer was wound back. Use it as a sanity check: a reading far below the typical band for the age is a clue worth investigating, not proof of anything on its own.

For one car, check its VIN to see decoded details and any available odometer records, including a Dutch RDW verdict when you add a number plate. For exactly how this band is computed and every source behind it, see the data methodology.
