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

This 2006 Mini has 26 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 25,552 miles. The mileage trajectory is highly suspicious, indicating potential odometer fraud.

The vehicle shows a critical mileage anomaly: 25,552 miles over 20 years (Jan 2006 to May 2025), averaging only 5,585 miles per year, which is significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles/year and raises serious fraud concerns.

Things to check

  • Mileage anomaly: 25,552 miles over 20 years (Jan 2006 to May 2025) — well below UK average.
  • Recurring major structural corrosion: Subframe, suspension arms, and exhaust system failures across multiple tests.
  • Recurring suspension failures: Multiple instances of excessively worn bushes and corroded components.
  • Recurring brake wear: Consistent advisories for worn brake pads and discs since 2019.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 10 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until June 2026, indicating
