MINI MINI2004 · 1.6L Petrol

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness record, with all six MOT tests from 2021 to 2025 resulting in passes at mileages ranging from 75,266 to 79,437 miles. No defects were recorded in the most recent 2025 test, indicating consistent mechanical integrity. The absence of advisories or failures across this period suggests the previous owner maintained the vehicle to a satisfactory standard, with no emerging issues requiring urgent attention. The mileage growth shows regular intervals between tests, with annual increases of approximately 1,500–1,600 miles. This low annual usage, averaging 3,611 miles per year, aligns with the vehicle’s 22-year age, reflecting either light usage or periods of inactivity. Notably, the 2023 test at 78,208 miles was conducted 14 months after the prior test, which could indicate extended storage or reduced driving. However, the lack of corrosion reports or mechanical failures in subsequent tests mitigates immediate concerns about long-term inactivity. A buyer should verify the suspension system, particularly the front and rear suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components are prone to wear in older Minis. The brake discs and calipers should be inspected for uneven wear or binding, given the vehicle’s age. Additionally, the exhaust system and underbody corrosion warrants scrutiny, as these areas are susceptible to degradation over two decades. No specific faults were flagged in the MOT history, but proactive checks on these systems will confirm the vehicle’s ongoing reliability.
