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

This 2009 Mini has 17 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 7,718 miles. The extremely low annual mileage (3,985 miles/yr) for a 17-year-old vehicle raises questions about its maintenance and true condition.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 3,985 miles per year, with a significant jump in recent years (e.g., 7,376 miles in 2023-2024, 9,036 miles in 2024-2025).

Things to check

  • 2013-09-25 ADVISORY: Front Windscreen has damage to an area less than a 40mm circle outside zone 'A'.
