AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2006 Mini has 14 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 18,685 miles. While it passed two subsequent MOTs, the long absence of records is a major red flag.
A critical 3-year MOT history gap (Dec 2016–Apr 2020) means the vehicle's mileage during this period is completely unverified, posing a significant integrity risk.
Things to check
- Critical 3-year MOT history gap (Dec 2016–Apr 2020) — mileage unverified.
- Major brake disc failure (pitted discs) on 2008-12-16, indicating past neglect.
- Long-term unverified mileage (18,685 mi over 20 years) suggests potential fraud.
- No valid MOT since 2022-04-01; vehicle is currently not roadworthy.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2024) indicates good safety features.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories since the last pass in 2011-01-15.
- The vehicle has a consistent, albeit low, annual mileage history post-2020.
