2008 MINI 1.6L Petrol · AV58 OSM

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, having achieved a clean pass in its most recent MOT test on 10 December 2025 at 94,654 miles. This result followed a failure just one day prior at 94,650 miles, which suggests a minor defect was identified and immediately rectified to ensure compliance. The maintenance trend appears stable, with no recurring mechanical failures or advisories recorded across the 2024 and 2025 cycles. At 18 years old, the MINI reflects a low-mileage profile, averaging approximately 5,259 miles per year. The data shows a period of consistent use, with 3,777 miles covered between January 2024 and December 2024, followed by a slightly higher usage of 3,805 miles between tests between December 2024 and December 2025. While low mileage generally reduces engine wear, it can also lead to the degradation of rubber components and seized calipers if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods between these annual-style test intervals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension bushes and coil springs, as age-related rubber perish is common on low-mileage cars of this era. Given the clean records, the structural integrity appears sound, but a close look at the subframe and exhaust mounting points is necessary to ensure no hidden corrosion is developing. Inspect the brake discs for signs of pitting or surface rust, as low usage frequency often results in uneven pad wear or disc oxidation despite the successful MOT results.
