AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2008 Mini has 15 MOT tests on record with a 93% pass rate and 16,339 miles. The vehicle's extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a history of recurring brake advisories and a dangerous tyre failure, makes it a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 3,354 miles per year, with a significant 2021 service gap and a recent 561-mile increase between 2023 and 2024.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS tyre defect recorded on 2024-03-01 (Mar 2024 FAIL) — immediate safety concern.
- Extremely low annual mileage (3,354 mi/yr) for an 18-year-old vehicle — suggests prolonged inactivity or neglect.
- A 2021 MOT gap (no test recorded) — raises questions about vehicle maintenance and roadworthiness during that period.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
- Valid MOT until 2026-06-11 — no immediate retest required.
- No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects — only advisories and one minor failure.
- Consistent, albeit low, mileage trajectory — no suspicious drops or spikes.
