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 22 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 39,018 miles. The vehicle's age, combined with a lack of recent MOTs and a dangerous defect, makes it an extremely high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows normal usage with 39,018 miles over 23 years, averaging 7,643 miles per year, which is consistent with its age.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS brake failure recorded on 2009-04-06 (64,179 mi) — immediate safety risk.
  • No valid MOT since 2020-10-11 — vehicle has been off-road for years, likely in poor condition.
  • Dangerous rear tyre lump failures on 2009-04-06 (64,179 mi) — indicates past neglect of critical safety systems.
  • Untaxed status and no valid MOT — significant compliance and roadworthiness concerns.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent, low annual mileage (7,643 mi/yr) suggests light use and potential for longevity.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2024) — indicates modern safety standards despite age.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories (last test 2009) — no current test-related issues.
