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

This 2011 Mini has 16 MOT tests on record with a 81% pass rate and 25,583 miles. While it has a clean recent MOT pass, the low mileage and numerous past advisories warrant a thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before April 2022 (486 mi/yr equivalent), followed by a significant drop in annual usage, which is a major red flag for potential odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • Mileage anomaly: Suspiciously low mileage recorded before Apr 2022 (486 mi/yr equivalent).
  • Recurring Tyres: 7 advisories across 4 tests (Sep 2018, 2020, 2024) indicate chronic wear.
  • Recurring Brakes: 6 advisories across 3 tests (Dec 2024, Apr 2026) point to ongoing issues.
  • Recurring Engine Oil: 2 advisories across 2 tests (Apr 2022, Feb 2023) suggest a persistent problem.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until April 2027, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • No major structural failures or dangerous defects recorded in MOT history.
  • Consistent, albeit low, annual mileage suggests careful, light use.
