This 2021 Mini has 4 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 16,689 miles. The car's low annual usage (5,012 miles) is a positive, but the timing chain and head gasket are significant potential future costs.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual usage, averaging 5,012 miles per year, with readings of 16,689 miles in April 2024 and 26,612 miles in April 2026, indicating very light driving.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Apr 2026): Nearside Front Outer Tyre has a bulge, caused by separation or partial failure o
  • Dangerous tyre failure on 2026-04-23 (Nearside Front Outer Tyre bulge) — immediate safety concern.
  • Owner-reported high-risk faults: head gasket, rear strut/spring failure, ABS sensor, and brake line damage (community knowledge).
  • Low annual mileage (5,012 miles/yr) suggests infrequent use, which can lead to accelerated component wear.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-04-28, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (5,012 miles/yr) suggests light, non-abusive use.
  • No recurring major failures or advisories on the same system across MOT tests.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2024) demonstrates high safety standards for this model.
