AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2017 Mini has 11 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 26,431 miles. The extremely low recent mileage for its age, combined with a history of critical safety failures, makes this a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows normal usage with 26,431 miles by May 2020, but a significant drop to 1,666 miles between April 2024 and April 2025, followed by a spike to 12,781 miles by May 2026, indicates inconsistent and potentially suspicious usage patterns.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (May 2026): Nearside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))
- DANGEROUS defect: Tyres failed on 2026-05-13, indicating critical safety neglect.
- DANGEROUS defect: Brakes failed on 2026-05-13, showing a history of safety-critical issues.
- Recurring tyre failures: May 2021 advisory escalated to dangerous failure in May 2026.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-05-07, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No mileage fraud detected; readings are consistent, though usage varied.
- No recurring failures on critical systems like engine or transmission.
- Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars (2024) confirms high safety standards for the model.
