This 2009 Mini has 4 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 37,491 miles. The high mileage for its age, combined with a history of major failures and recurring advisories, makes this a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows high annual usage of 22,815 miles/yr, significantly above the UK average of 8,000, with a notable spike of +46,820 miles between Feb 2012 and Apr 2013.
Things to check
- MOT status: Not valid; requires immediate re-MOT and potential costly repairs, estimated £500-£1000.
- Tax status: Untaxed; requires immediate tax payment and associated costs, estimated £200-£400.
- High annual mileage: 22,815 miles/yr is 2.8x the UK average, leading to accelerated wear and future maintenance, estimated £500-£1000.
- Major failures: Windscreen, brakes, and tyres failed in July 2014, indicating significant maintenance needs and potential future failures, estimated £500-£1000.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP rating: 5/5 stars (2024) indicates a strong safety record for its age.
- No recent MOT failures: The single failure in July 2014 was immediately rectified and passed.
- Consistent mileage: While high, the mileage trajectory is consistent and shows no suspicious drops or spikes.
- Diesel engine: Offers better fuel economy compared to petrol variants, a known MINI diesel benefit.
