AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2016 Mini has 9 MOT tests on record with a 89% pass rate and 17,444 miles. However, a significant mileage anomaly and a history of tyre-related advisories warrant careful consideration.
The vehicle shows very low usage, averaging 2,895 miles/year, with a notable drop from 3,275 miles/year (May 2020) to 919 miles/year (May 2026), suggesting a change in usage or potential odometer issues.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 29,994 miles over 10 years (expected 63,890 miles).
- Recurring tyre advisories (May 2021, May 2021 retest) and a DANGEROUS tyre defect (May 2021).
- Very low annual mileage (919 miles/year from May 2025 to May 2026) suggests limited use or potential issues.
Working in its favour
- Strong MOT record with 8 passes and only 1 failure, promptly rectified in May 2021.
- No dangerous defects or major recurring failures on critical safety systems.
- Valid MOT until May 2027, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
- Consistent mileage trajectory before the significant drop in recent years.
