2005 MINI MINI COOPER1.6L PETROL

The most recent MOT was on 2008-06-13 — over 17 years ago — and it passed with a specific advisory: both nearside tyres were worn close to the legal limit (4.1.E.1). That means the tread depth was likely between 1.6 mm and 2.0 mm at the time. The only other recorded MOT is from 2007-07-10, also a pass, with no defects noted and a lower mileage of 14,815. There are no MOT records since 2008, so there’s no evidence of how the car has been maintained, used, or inspected for the past 17+ years. The defect pattern is narrow but clear: tyre wear on the nearside corners. No other recurring issues appear in the limited history — no suspension advisories, brake warnings, lighting faults, or exhaust concerns. With only two MOTs and no later entries, the condition trend cannot be assessed as worsening, stable, or improving. The data is too sparse. At 23,516 miles over 21 years, the average is just 1,120 miles per year — far below typical use. This strongly suggests very light use, possibly long periods of storage.
