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

This 2007 Mini has 18 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 14,291 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a 2023 service gap, raises significant ownership and maintenance concerns.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 3,384 miles per year, with a significant 2023 service gap and inconsistent re-test intervals.

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures in critical safety systems: brakes (Aug 2018) and tyres (Aug 2018, Sep 2021).
  • Extremely low annual mileage (3,384 mi/yr) for a 19-year-old vehicle, suggesting prolonged inactivity.
  • 2023 MOT gap indicates a period of unknown history or potential SORN, raising ownership concerns.
  • High-concern advisories for front brake disc wear (Sep 2021) and rear tyre condition (Aug 2018) signal imminent costs.

Working in its favour

  • Recent clean MOT pass in April 2025, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2024) confirms high safety standards for this model.
  • Consistent re-test history shows prompt owner action to address failures and advisories.
