AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2021 Mini has 4 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 22,018 miles. The recurring tyre defects, including a DANGEROUS bulge in 2025, suggest a deeper structural or alignment problem that needs immediate investigation.
The vehicle shows consistent annual usage, averaging 8,488 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes in the 45,838 miles recorded by May 2026.
Things to check
- May 2025 FAILED MOT due to DANGEROUS Offside Front Tyre bulge and MAJOR Nearside Front Tyre not fitted correctly.
- May 2025 and May 2024 advisories for rear tyre cracking and front tyre wear indicate a systemic, recurring issue.
- May 2025 retest PASS was only 1 mile after the initial FAIL, suggesting a very narrow margin for safety.
- The 2021 MINI model has a known history of head gasket and timing chain failures, which aligns with the tyre advisories.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until May 2027, indicating current roadworthiness despite past issues.
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,488 miles/year, suggesting normal, non-abusive use.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided MOT history.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2024) confirms high safety standards for this model.
