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 19 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 21,642 miles. The recent headlamp aim failure and a 2013 suspension mount advisory are significant concerns.

The vehicle shows very low annual usage, averaging only 5,418 miles per year, with a notable spike of 11,337 miles between May 2024 and May 2025.

Things to check

  • May 2023 MOT advisory: Nearside Front Top Suspension Mount starting to split.
  • May 2023 MOT advisory: Offside Front Top Suspension Mount starting to split.
  • Sep 2018 MOT advisory: Nearside Rear Tyre worn close to legal limit.
  • Sep 2018 MOT advisory: Offside Rear Tyre worn close to legal limit.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until May 2027, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
  • No recent major failures or advisories on the most recent MOT tests (May 2026).
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (5,418 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2024) indicates a well-regarded safety record.
