2009 MINI 1.6L Petrol · M25 VJK

This vehicle is currently roadworthy and demonstrates a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 5 March 2026 at 92,455 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of passing tests over the last three years, indicating the car is being kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards. The mileage is notably low for a 2009 model, averaging roughly 5,439 miles per year. Between 12 March 2024 and 5 March 2026, the odometer increased by 3,589 miles. This low annual usage suggests the car has not been subjected to heavy wear and tear, though it can sometimes indicate periods of inactivity which may affect rubber components and battery health. The MOT history is unusually clean, with no recorded advisories or specific defects across multiple tests. While the records show failures on 7 March 2024 and 12 March 2025, these were resolved immediately on the same or following day. The lack of detailed failure data in the record is atypical for a seventeen year old vehicle, as one would usually expect to see mentions of suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust leaks. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas the MOT record does not explicitly detail. Check for perished tyre sidewalls or flat spots caused by low usage. Inspect the underbody for structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and suspension mounting points, as these are common failure points for this era of MINI that may not have been flagged if the car was presented in a clean state. Verify the service history to ensure oil changes occurred regardless of the low mileage.
