AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2017 Mini has 9 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 17,296 miles. While mileage is low, the vehicle's history suggests a need for thorough pre-purchase inspection.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before April 2021 (40 mi/yr equivalent), followed by consistent but below-average annual usage of 5,214 miles/year.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake pad advisories across 7 tests (Mar 2023, Apr 2024, Apr 2025, Apr 2026) indicate chronic wear.
  • Recurring tyre advisories across 4 tests (Apr 2025, Apr 2026) escalated to major failures, suggesting poor maintenance.
  • First MOT in Oct 2020 was 3 years late, a critical compliance issue.
  • Mileage trajectory shows suspiciously low usage (40 mi/yr equivalent) before April 2021.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2024): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until April 2027 provides immediate peace of mind.
  • No major structural failures or dangerous defects recorded in MOT history.
