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

This 2003 Mini has 19 MOT tests on record with a 84% pass rate and 26,913 miles. The vehicle's extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a 23-year-old vehicle, presents significant long-term ownership risks.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Sep 2016 (4 mi/yr equivalent) and Jun 2018 (4 mi/yr equivalent), followed by a significant drop in annual usage, averaging only 3,795 miles per year since registration.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake system advisories across 6 separate MOT tests (Jan 2020, Apr 2023, Apr 2024, Apr 2025).
  • Recurring suspension component advisories across 5 separate MOT tests (Jan 2020, Apr 2023, Apr 2024, Apr 2025).
  • Recurring tyre condition advisories across 3 separate MOT tests (Dec 2020, Jan 2022, Apr 2023).
  • Recurring CV boot and ball joint advisories across 3 separate MOT tests (Jan 2020, Apr 2023, Apr 2024).

Working in its favour

  • Recent clean MOT pass on 2025-04-28 with no failures or dangerous defects.
  • No major structural corrosion failures since the 2020 advisories were not flagged as failures.
  • Consistent retest history shows immediate rectification of failures and advisories.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2024) indicates a generally safe vehicle.
