2009 MINI (R57) 1.6L Petrol · N12 XYA

The most recent MOT in November 2025 passed, but it noted several corrosion issues on the nearside front brake pipe and rear upper suspension arm, along with a defective wiper blade. A recurring mechanical pattern involves corrosion on suspension and brake components, as seen in the 2025 report, and previous concerns about brake pad wear and tyre tread depth in earlier history. The overall condition trend appears to be stable, with recent issues being noted in the latest inspection rather than a clear worsening trend across all reports. The mileage of 67,237 miles for a vehicle of this age suggests relatively light use, as the annual mileage is approximately 3,955 miles per year. This lower mileage might indicate less wear on consumables compared to a higher-mileage equivalent. A buyer should immediately inspect the nearside front brake pipe for the noted corrosion and thoroughly check the condition of the suspension components mentioned in the 2025 report. Also, check the tyre condition, particularly the nearside front tyre, as it was noted to have exposed cords in the 2023 report.
