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

This 2009 Mini has 19 MOT tests on record with a 74% pass rate and 31,557 miles. While mileage is low, the pattern of neglect in critical safety systems warrants careful inspection.

Mileage is significantly below average at 4,786 miles/year, with a concerning 2021 service gap and inconsistent annual usage patterns.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre failures and advisories across 13 tests (Aug 2018, Jan 2022, Jan 2026) indicate chronic neglect.
  • Brake system failures and advisories in 4 tests (Dec 2020, Jan 2025, Jan 2026) point to ongoing maintenance issues.
  • A 2021 service gap (no MOT recorded) suggests periods of inactivity or poor maintenance.
  • Offside Front Sub-frame corroded and seriously weakened (Jan 2026) is a major structural concern.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until January 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • The vehicle has consistently passed retests after failures, showing issues were addressed.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2024) indicates a generally safe vehicle design.
