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

This 2004 Mini has 28 MOT tests on record with a 68% pass rate and 31,189 miles. The MOT record itself is highly inconsistent with no continuous testing.

The vehicle shows no mileage recorded from 2009 to 2024, then a suspiciously low 42 miles/year from 2024 to 2026, indicating a severe odometer integrity issue.

Things to check

  • No mileage recorded from 2009 to 2024 (MOT gap 15 years).
  • Mileage dropped to 42 miles/year from 2024 to 2026 (suspiciously low).
  • MOT history shows no continuous testing for 15 years (2009–2024).
  • Major recurring suspension failures (4+ tests) and steering issues (2+ tests).

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-05-19, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories (last test May 2026 was a PASS).
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2024) suggests good safety features.
  • Consistent annual mileage before 2009 (7,335 mi/yr), aligning with UK average.
