2009 MINI 1.4L Petrol · AG09 FCD

The 2009 MINI presents as roadworthy on the basis of its most recent test, a pass recorded on 6 October 2023 at 96,263 miles with no defects listed. The maintenance trend shown across the supplied records is stable, with every successful test returning a clean sheet and no advisories logged at any stage. A buyer should note the most recent examination sits roughly twenty months behind today's date of 8 July 2026, so the vehicle has likely covered little or no distance since yet remains outside its valid test window. The odometer trace shows light use for a seventeen-year-old car. It read 84,560 miles at the 4 October 2021 test, rose to 90,004 miles by 27 September 2022, and reached 96,263 miles by October 2023. That equates to roughly 5,660 miles per year, well below the national average. The gap between the 2021 and 2022 entries is the widest in the record, but the climb is steady rather than sporadic. No rapid accumulation or unexplained drops appear in the data. One anomaly warrants scrutiny. On 27 September 2022 the MINI failed and passed on the same day at identical mileage, yet the DVSA entry records no defects for either outcome. Such a pattern often signals an administrative retest or a clerical error at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. The buyer should obtain the original failure documentation to confirm no concealed defect existed before the same-day pass. Given the clean history, no recurring wear items such as tyres, brake discs, or suspension bushes were flagged. The low mileage and standing periods typical of such use can still encourage perished rubber, seized calipers, or underside corrosion unseen in the record. A physical inspection should check subframe rust, fluid condition, and brake freedom before any purchase.
