AI verdict AVOID 44/100

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 22 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 20,508 miles. The vehicle's extremely low mileage for its age, coupled with a history of major brake and tyre defects, makes it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Mar 2020 (439 mi/yr equivalent), followed by a significant drop in annual usage, averaging only 5,809 miles per year since registration.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 2019-06-20 (disc seriously weakened).
  • DANGEROUS tyre failure on 2019-06-20 (tread below 1.6mm).
  • Recurring brake system failures across multiple tests (2019, 2020, 2024).
  • Recurring suspension component failures (shock absorber leak, 2019, 2024).

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2024): 5-star safety rating.
  • Valid MOT until 2026-12-16, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories since the Dec 2025 pass.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory since 2020, no suspicious spikes.
