AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2009 Mini has 19 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 39,732 miles. While mileage is consistent, the number of advisories and failures for critical safety systems warrants a thorough inspection.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,021 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or implausibly low annual usage, though there was a 2-year period (2019-2020) of very low usage.
Things to check
- Recurring coil spring advisories across 5 separate MOT tests (Jun 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025) indicate chronic suspension wear.
- Brake system failures and advisories escalate from Jun 2022 (advisory) to Jun 2025 (major failure), showing a clear deterioration pattern.
- Subframe corrosion advisories appear in Jun 2024 and Jun 2025, a 17-year-old vehicle's structural integrity is a concern.
- The vehicle is not ULEZ-compliant, incurring a £12.50/day charge in London, limiting its future use.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until June 2026, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or implausibly low annual usage.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
- Recent MOT pass (Jun 2025) after addressing major brake failure, demonstrating current roadworthiness.
