AI verdict AVOID 40/100

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 21 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 17,599 miles. The vehicle's 17-year age, combined with a 5-year gap in MOT records and a 22,451-mile anomaly, makes it an extremely high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows a critical 22,451-mile jump in its first 3 years (Jan 2009 to Aug 2019), followed by a severe drop to 3,648 miles/year from Sep 2018 to Apr 2021, and then a further drop to 1,166 miles/year from Apr 2021 to Apr 2022.

Things to check

  • Unusually high mileage jump of 22,451 miles in first 3 years (Jan 2009 to Aug 2019).
  • Severe mileage drop to 3,648 miles/year from Sep 2018 to Apr 2021, indicating potential odometer fraud.
  • Five major MOT failures across 13 tests, including emissions, brakes, and steering.
  • Four recurring advisories for tyres, suspension, and exhaust system issues.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2024) indicates a generally safe vehicle.
  • Current MOT is valid until 2026-06-29, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • No recent major failures or advisories on the most recent MOT (Jun 2025).
  • The vehicle has consistently passed retests after failures, showing issues were addressed.
