This 2015 Mini has 10 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 34,863 miles. The mileage is extremely low for its age, raising significant concerns about its true condition and maintenance.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage, averaging only 6,243 miles per year, with a 2020 service gap and a 2021 MOT entry that is significantly lower than expected.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (May 2025): Offside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm tyre on 1.0 mm / 205,
  • 2020 MOT gap: No MOT recorded for 2020, a major red flag for history.
  • Dangerous head gasket failure: Recorded in 2018-05-08 MOT, a critical engine component failure.
  • Dangerous tyre defects: Recurring DANGEROUS tyre failures in 2019 and 2025.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until June 2026: Provides immediate peace of mind regarding current roadworthiness.
  • Consistent mileage: While low, the mileage trajectory is consistent, showing no signs of tampering.
  • No recent major failures: The most recent MOT (May 2025) passed after addressing the dangerous tyre defect.
  • Euro NCAP 5 stars: Indicates a high safety rating for this MINI model.
