AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2010 Mini has 14 MOT tests on record with a 93% pass rate and 12,115 miles. The car's age and past maintenance patterns present significant upcoming costs.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 4,134 miles per year, with a significant 3-year gap in MOT history (2024) and a 2-year period of very low mileage (Jul 2021 to Jul 2022).
Things to check
- The 16-year-old vehicle has accumulated very low mileage (12,115 mi), suggesting long periods of inactivity or very light use.
- A 3-year MOT gap (2024) is a significant red flag for unexplained off-road use or potential SORN status.
- The single major failure for the steering rack gaiter (Jul 2021) was immediately rectified, but the underlying issue is concerning for a 2010 MINI.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2024): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
- Valid MOT until April 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- No dangerous defects or recurring failures on safety-critical systems like brakes or steering.
