AI verdict AVOID 59/100

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

This 2008 Mini has 19 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 12,461 miles. This fundamental problem makes the vehicle unroadworthy and illegal to drive.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage, averaging only 5,724 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage from 2019 onwards, raising odometer fraud concerns.

Things to check

  • MOT status is 'Not valid' with expiry 2025-08-07 — this is a critical, unaddressed safety issue.
  • Mileage trajectory is highly suspicious: 66,617 mi (Jul 2018) to 95,103 mi (Aug 2024) shows implausible drops and spikes.
  • Recurring corrosion advisories on subframe and suspension arms since 2020 indicate structural neglect.
  • Major brake pipe corrosion failure in Aug 2024, following years of advisories, signals systemic neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • No recorded failures for the 2010–2013 MOTs, indicating a period of good maintenance.
  • The vehicle has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating (2024), suggesting good inherent safety features.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) or write-off markers in the provided data.
