AI verdict AVOID 22/100

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

This 2008 Mini has 22 MOT tests on record with a 68% pass rate and 20,074 miles. The vehicle's age, combined with these significant issues, makes it a high-risk purchase.

The mileage trajectory is highly suspicious, showing a significant decrease from 67,741 miles in Feb 2015 to 61,237 miles in Mar 2016, and a drastic drop to only 290 miles/year between 2015 and 2025.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Feb 2015 (67,741 mi) and Mar 2016 (61,237 mi) — possible odometer tamperin
  • Mileage decreased from 67,741 mi (Feb 2015) to 61,237 mi (Mar 2016) — possible odometer tampering.
  • Brake system failures and advisories are a recurring pattern across multiple MOT tests.
  • Suspension failures and advisories are a recurring pattern across multiple MOT tests.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate until April 2027, indicating it is roadworthy for now.
  • No recent major failures or advisories were recorded on the most recent MOT in April 2026.
  • The vehicle has a consistent, albeit low, annual mileage since 2015, suggesting regular use.
  • The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for 2024 provides a high level of safety assurance for a 2008 model.
