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

This 2009 Mini has 19 MOT tests on record with a 74% pass rate and 15,438 miles. However, a 17-year-old vehicle with 10 MOT tests shows a pattern of recurring minor and major defects, particularly with tyres and lights.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 6,503 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre advisories (Nov 2021) escalated to major failure (Nov 2022), indicating a persistent wear issue.
  • Recurring headlamp aim failures (May 2012, May 2013) and wiper issues (May 2012) suggest a history of neglected maintenance.
  • Engine oil advisory noted in 4 separate tests (Nov 2020, Nov 2021, Nov 2022, Nov 2023) points to a chronic issue.
  • The vehicle has been on SORN status since its last registration, which may impact insurance and road tax.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2024): 5-star safety rating.
  • Valid MOT until 2026-11-28, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (6,503 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
  • No major structural failures or dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
