AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2004 Mini has 23 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 5,349 miles. The vehicle's extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a 'Not valid' MOT status, makes it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 3,752 miles per year, with a significant 31-mile discrepancy between the July 2019 retest and the July 2019 pass.

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures: exhaust (Jul 2018), brakes (5 tests), suspension (2 tests).
  • Recurring advisories: engine oil (4 tests), headlamp (2 tests), tyre (2 tests).
  • Dangerous defect: exhaust Lambda reading outside limits (Jul 2019).
  • Dangerous defect: centre rear stop lamp not working (Jul 2009).

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2024): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 7 historical failures
