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

This 2007 Mini has 19 MOT tests on record with a 68% pass rate and 26,252 miles. The vehicle's age, combined with its poor maintenance record and unexplained history, makes it an extremely high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before April 2021 (178 mi/yr equivalent) and again before December 2021 (130 mi/yr equivalent), followed by a significant drop in usage after 2012.

Things to check

  • No valid MOT since 2012 — a critical safety and legal concern.
  • Dangerous tyre defects recorded in 2011 and 2012 MOTs.
  • Major suspension failure and corrosion advisories in 2020.
  • Major exhaust leak failure in 2020, indicating poor maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2024) indicates a generally safe vehicle.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting current roadworthiness is unknown.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory after initial anomalies, showing no recent odometer fraud.
  • No recurring failures on the same system since 2020, indicating some past issues were addressed.
