2008 MINI 1.4L Petrol · GL58 AED

The 2008 MINI MINI, with a recorded mileage of 120,174 miles, has a mixed maintenance history. The most recent MOT test in August 2025 resulted in a pass, but with a history of previous failures. The vehicle's maintenance trend is worsening, with a total of three failures in the past two years, indicating a decline in the vehicle's overall condition. The most recent failure highlighted issues with the exhaust emissions and rear brake pads, which require attention. The vehicle's mileage pattern is consistent with its age, with approximately 6,676 miles per year accumulated over the past 18 years. However, there are some notable gaps in the MOT history, with a 14-month interval between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This suggests that the vehicle may have been stationary for a period, which can contribute to issues with corrosion and mechanical wear. The rapid accumulation of mileage in the past two years, with over 5,000 miles added in 2025 alone, may also indicate a change in usage patterns or increased wear on consumable components. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's suspension and brake systems, as these have been flagged for issues in the past. In particular, the rear brake pads were noted as wearing thin in the 2025 test, and the rear service brake was found to be binding but not excessively so. The vehicle's exhaust emissions were also a concern in the 2025 test, with excessive hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide content. Additionally, the rear sub-frame has been corroded but not seriously weakened in previous tests, which may indicate a risk of further deterioration. A thorough inspection of these components is recommended to assess the vehicle's overall roadworthiness.
