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.

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.
