2005 MINI 1.6L Petrol · AF55 JZP

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following the most recent MOT pass on 7 February 2026 at 130,580 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the supplied history is stable, showing clean passes in 2025 and 2024 and no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The only blemish is a pair of failures logged on 7 February 2026 at 130,573 miles and 11 January 2024 at 112,950 miles, both carrying no recorded defects, which points to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than a deterioration in condition. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 2005 Mini, averaging around 6,200 miles per year against the 130,580 miles recorded. The odometer advanced from 112,963 miles at the February 2024 pass to 121,562 miles by February 2025, then to 130,580 miles by February 2026, a consistent 8,500 to 9,000 miles annually over the last two years. No long dormant periods or sudden accumulation spikes appear in the data, and the sparse record with zero advisories suggests the previous keeper kept the car to a basic pass standard without neglecting obvious consumables. Given the absence of any flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions faults across the five tests, the buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody rust, as a 21-year-old hatchback of this era is prone to subframe degradation not always caught in a clean MOT. The twin zero-defect failures warrant a check of the VOSA failure reason codes, since the DVSA feed shows no defects yet the tests were rejected. Verify the February 2026 failure-to-pass turnaround occurred on the same day, implying a retest rather than a repair delay.
