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

This 2002 Mini has 26 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 17,903 miles. This presents an insurmountable data integrity issue, making a reliable assessment impossible.

The vehicle shows a 24-year gap in recorded mileage (Jan 2002 to Nov 2018) and a significant drop in annual usage (from ~7k miles to ~3k miles) after 2018, which is highly suspicious and cannot be verified.

Things to check

Critical MOT data conflict: 2026-04-25 MOT expiry date directly contradicts the 'Not valid' status in provided data.
Severe mileage integrity issue: 24-year gap in recorded mileage (Jan 2002 to Nov 2018) and suspiciously low annual usage post-2018.
Dangerous brake system failures: Recurring brake hose corrosion and brake disc wear across multiple tests.
Recurring suspension and emissions advisories: Multiple advisories for suspension and emissions components.

Working in its favour

Euro NCAP safety rating: 5/5 stars (2024) indicates a high level of safety for its age.
Consistent recent MOT passes: Despite past issues, the vehicle has passed its most recent MOTs in 2023 and 2025.
No recent major failures: The most recent MOT (Apr 2025) passed without any major failures.
Low annual mileage: Average of 4,959 miles/year is significantly below UK average, suggesting light use.
