2004 MINI 1.6L Petrol · WL54 AHJ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-07-02 at 105,027 miles showed no defects, but the same date recorded a failed test with no recorded issues, suggesting a possible administrative error or duplicate entry. Previous tests from 2024-03-27 (100,016 miles) and 2023-04-28 (91,527 miles) also passed with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. No significant mechanical or structural faults are documented, though the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into potential underlying issues. The vehicle’s mileage of 105,027 miles at 22 years old equates to approximately 4,774 miles annually, a low figure that may reflect infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity. The 2022-04-05 test at 89,424 miles showed a 2,103-mile increase over 12 months, followed by a 8,491-mile jump to 100,016 miles by 2024-03-27, then 5,011 miles to 105,027 by 2025-07-02. These gaps suggest irregular usage patterns, which could accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust systems if the car was left stationary for extended periods. A buyer should physically inspect the vehicle for signs of corrosion, particularly in the underbody and chassis, given its age. Check suspension components for hardened bushes or coil spring fatigue, and verify brake system functionality, as low-mileage vehicles may develop binding calipers or uneven disc wear from infrequent use. The absence of recorded defects does not eliminate the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection, as MOT tests do not assess all mechanical systems comprehensively.
