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 22 MOT tests on record with a 55% pass rate and 73,588 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2026-05-08, which is highly irregular for a 2009 vehicle.

The mileage trajectory shows a significant drop in usage from 2018 to 2023 (5 mi/yr equivalent), followed by a return to normal usage, but the 2025 MOT shows only 2 miles in the last 12 months, indicating a severe and unexplained recent low.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Oct 2024): Parking brake mechanism/associated mounting prescribed area is inadequately repa
  • DANGEROUS defect: Tyres failed on 2020-10-01 and 2020-10-01 retest.
  • DANGEROUS defect: Brakes failed on 2020-10-01 and 2020-10-01 retest.
  • MAJOR failure: Engine/Oil failed on 2020-10-01 and 2020-10-01 retest.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2024): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 10 historical failures
