AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2013 Mini has 12 MOT tests on record with a 92% pass rate and 21,310 miles. However, a 2016 advisory for 'head gasket' and a 2019 advisory for 'covers fitted under vehicle' warrant careful investigation.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 6,924 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage.
Things to check
- 2016-05-20 MOT advisory: 'head gasket' — a critical component for a 2013 diesel MINI.
- 2019-04-01 MOT advisory: 'covers fitted under vehicle' — suggests potential hidden damage or poor maintenance.
- Mar 2020 MOT advisory: 'Offside Front Brake pad(s) wearing thin' — indicates imminent brake replacement cost.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2024): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
- Consistent, low annual mileage (6,924 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
- No recurring major failures or dangerous defects across 9 MOT tests.
