2007 MINI MINI1.6L Petrol

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT test in February 2026 at 148,310 miles which returned no recorded defects. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last four years, despite a single failure in December 2023. The immediate rectification of that 2023 failure on the same day indicates that any identified mechanical issues were addressed promptly, suggesting a proactive approach to maintaining the vehicle's legal compliance. At 148,310 miles over 19 years, the car averages approximately 7,800 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 7,000 miles covered between the December 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 7,200 miles leading into the 2026 inspection. This regular mileage suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly rather than left stationary for long periods, which often helps keep seals supple and prevents moisture-related corrosion. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking components, given the high-mileage profile. While the records show no recent defects, the age and mileage of a MINI inevitably lead to wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and ball joints. Check for any signs of thinning on the structural metal or excessive corrosion on the brake discs, as these are common points of failure on this specific chassis that may not always trigger an MOT failure until they reach a critical threshold.
