This 2009 Mini has 20 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 18,922 miles. The vehicle's age and past maintenance history present substantial risks.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before April 2015 (51 mi/yr equivalent), followed by a significant drop in annual usage, averaging only 5,292 miles per year since registration.
Things to check
- Mileage anomaly: Suspiciously low mileage recorded before Apr 2015 (51 mi/yr equivalent).
- Recurring electrical faults: Position lamp advisories in Mar 2019 and Mar 2022, escalating to MAJOR failure in Mar 2022.
- Recurring brake wear: Front brake pad advisories in Mar 2021 and Mar 2022, indicating a pattern of wear.
- 2015 Head Gasket Failure: A critical 2015 head gasket failure is a major structural concern for a 2009 MINI.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-04-23: Offers peace of mind for immediate roadworthiness.
- No recent MOT failures: The most recent MOT in Apr 2026 passed without major defects.
- Consistent mileage trajectory: Mileage has been consistently recorded since 2015, despite low annual usage.
- Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating: Indicates a strong safety record for this model.
