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

This 2006 Mini has 12 MOT tests on record with a 92% pass rate and 10,264 miles. The vehicle is currently untaxed and has no valid MOT.

The vehicle shows very low annual usage, averaging only 4,956 miles per year, with a significant 6-year gap (2013-2018) and a 5-year gap (2019-2024) in recorded MOT tests.

Things to check

  • No valid MOT certificate since 2020-02-06, indicating it has not been road-legal for over 4 years.
  • Mileage trajectory shows significant gaps (2013-2018, 2019-2024) with only 64,304 miles recorded in 12 years.
  • Community-reported high-risk faults: 'gearbox [2001–2006]', 'head gasket [HIGH RISK]', 'Rear strut/spring failure with ABS sensor and brake line damage in Mini [HIGH RISK]', 'timing chain [HIGH RISK]' — these are critical for a 20-year-old MINI.
  • The 2012-01-07 MOT advisory for an 'Oil leak' is a specific and unresolved mechanical concern.

Working in its favour

  • No MOT failures recorded across all tests, indicating no immediate safety concerns.
  • The vehicle has consistently passed its MOT tests since 2010, showing a basic level of maintenance.
  • The 2012-01-07 advisory for an 'Oil leak' is a known, specific issue, not a hidden problem.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2024) suggests a modern safety standard for a 2006 model.
