MINI MINI2004 · 1.6L Petrol

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 September 2025 at 122,377 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of passing tests without noted mechanical failures or recurring advisories over the last three years. The mileage is low for a 22 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,563 miles per year. Between August 2023 and September 2025, the car covered 7,490 miles. This low annual usage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy motorway wear, though it increases the risk of components degrading due to inactivity. The MOT record is unusually clean for a 2004 model, showing no mentions of corrosion, suspension wear, or brake deterioration. While the failures on 24 August 2023 and 13 September 2024 were resolved immediately, the lack of any recorded advisories over several years is atypical for a vehicle of this age. A buyer should physically inspect the chassis and suspension mounting points for structural rust, as the MOT record does not highlight any historical corrosion. Check the condition of the rubber bushes and tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking, which often occurs in low-mileage cars. Verify the brake pedal feel to ensure the calipers have not seized during periods of standing.
