2004 MINI 1.6L Petrol · AA02 FAY

The vehicle presents a stable and positive roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on April 7, 2026, at 46,686 miles with no defects recorded. This follows a clean pass in April 2024, indicating that the mechanical condition remains consistent. The only minor anomaly in the history occurred in April 2025, where the vehicle failed just five miles before a successful test but was rectified immediately the following day. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,122 miles per year. Between April 2023 and April 2024, the car covered only 60 miles, suggesting long periods of stationary storage. However, usage increased significantly between April 2024 and April 2026, where the vehicle clocked 4,747 miles in two years. While low total mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often leads to degradation of rubber-based components and seizing of brake components due to lack of use. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection focusing on components prone to age-related failure despite the low mileage. Check for perished rubber suspension bushes, split CV boots, and degraded fluid hoses which occur when a car sits. Inspect the brake discs for surface pitting and binding calipers, as low-use vehicles often suffer from brake rust. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion is essential to ensure that the integrity of the frame has not been compromised over time.
