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 68% pass rate and 65,677 miles. While mileage appears consistent, the complete absence of MOT records makes a reliable assessment impossible.

Mileage appears consistent with 99,205 miles in Oct 2018, 101,486 miles in Oct 2019, and 103,328 miles in Oct 2020, averaging below 6,000 miles/year.

Things to check

  • No MOT history recorded for a 23-year-old vehicle (registered 2003).
  • MOT expiry date 2021-10-15 is past, indicating the vehicle is currently not road legal.
  • Mileage trajectory is consistent but requires immediate verification against service records.
  • The 2003 MINI is not ULEZ-compliant, incurring daily charges in London.

Working in its favour

  • No recorded MOT failures or advisories, suggesting a clean history of compliance.
  • Consistent mileage readings across all available MOT tests.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2024) indicates a well-regarded safety record for its era.
