2005 MINI MINI1.6L Petrol

This vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 25 February 2026 at 72,054 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of passing tests without technical faults, suggesting the car is mechanically sound according to the DVSA standards. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 21 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,431 miles per year. Between 1 March 2024 and 25 February 2026, the odometer climbed from 61,109 to 72,054 miles. This indicates a steady increase of approximately 10,945 miles over two years, confirming the car is in regular use rather than suffering from the degradation associated with long periods of standing. The MOT history shows two failures in February 2024 and February 2025, yet the records list no specific defects for these failures. This anomaly suggests administrative errors or very minor issues resolved instantly. There are no recurring mentions of suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions problems. The absence of any advisories over the last three years is unusual for a vehicle of this age and suggests a high standard of preventative care. A buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of the chassis and sills for structural corrosion, as the MOT record is remarkably clean and may not capture slow-developing rust in non-critical areas. Check the condition of the rubber seals and tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking, given the low overall mileage. Verify the service history to ensure oil changes occurred regardless of the low annual distance covered.
