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 21 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 17,640 miles. While mileage is low, the pattern of neglect and repeated issues makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage averaging 6,891 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but a significant 18-year gap in MOT history is a major red flag.

Things to check

  • Engine oil advisory recurring across 7 tests (Oct 2018–Nov 2025) indicates chronic neglect.
  • Registration plate lamp failure escalated from MINOR (Oct 2018) to MAJOR (Nov 2023), showing a clear deterioration.
  • Tyre failures (DANGEROUS, Oct 2021; MAJOR, Nov 2025) and suspension coil spring advisories (6 times) point to systemic maintenance issues.
  • The 18-year gap in MOT history (no tests from 2010–2018) is a critical data anomaly for a 2008 vehicle.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until November 2026, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
  • Mileage is consistently low, averaging 6,891 miles/year, suggesting light use and potentially lower wear.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering is present in the MOT records.
  • The car has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating (2024), indicating good structural integrity for its age.
