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

This 2011 Mini has 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 22,309 miles. The vehicle's low mileage for its age, combined with a 15-year-old car, raises significant wear and tear concerns.

The mileage trajectory shows normal usage, averaging 8,972 miles/year, with a notable dip to 1,697 miles between Oct 2020 and Jun 2021, but no fraud detected.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake disc advisories (Jun 2022, Jul 2023, Jul 2024) indicate ongoing wear.
  • Offside Rear Tyre had a tear (Jul 2024) and Nearside Rear Shock absorbers had a serious leak (Jul 2024).
  • Headlamp aim issues (May 2015) and wiper failures (Apr 2014) suggest inconsistent maintenance.
  • The vehicle has been off the road (SORN) since the last MOT expired in 2025, requiring immediate re-registration.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 8,972 miles/year.
  • No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects recorded.
  • The vehicle has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for 2024.
  • The car has a long, consistent service history with no gaps in MOT records.
