2009 MINI Cooper 1.6L Petrol · AG09 DNF

The 2009 Mini Cooper presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent DVSA test on 30 November 2024 at 132,451 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests show the same outcome. The maintenance trend is steady with no worsening faults, advisories, or repeated failures across the available history. Mileage has accumulated at a typical rate for a 17 year old car. The record shows 106,910 miles at the 10 December 2021 test, rising to 116,495 by 17 November 2022, 124,185 by 11 December 2023, and 132,451 by 30 November 2024. That equates to roughly 8,000 to 9,000 miles per year with no sudden jumps or standing gaps, indicating consistent private use rather than neglect or short-term high load. The absence of any flagged items means the tester recorded no worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, binding calipers, or exhaust issues at each visit. A clean sheet across four years suggests the previous owner kept basic consumables and mechanical items within limits, though MOT pass with no defects does not confirm component life remaining. A buyer should still inspect in person for age related wear not always caught on test. Check front coil springs and lower arm bushes for cracking, examine brake discs for lip and rear calipers for free movement, and look beneath for chassis corrosion near subframes. Confirm tyre sidewalls and wiper condition, as these are minor consumables the MOT may pass one year and flag the next.
