2002 MINI 1.6L Petrol · AY02 HDH

The 2021‑12‑15 MOT at 135,827 miles passed without any recorded defects, confirming that the vehicle met the required standards at the time of testing and that the maintenance trend remains stable. With a recorded mileage of 135,827 miles on a 2002 model, the annual average is approximately 5,659 miles, which is low for a vehicle of this age and suggests periods of limited use or extended standing; the two tests conducted on consecutive days (135,798 mi on 2021‑12‑14 and 135,827 mi on 2021‑12‑15) show only a 29‑mile increase, indicating minimal additional use between examinations. A buyer should therefore concentrate on the mechanical components that typically show wear despite low mileage: suspension bushes and coil springs, front and rear brake discs and calipers, and any signs of structural rust or corrosion affecting the chassis and subframes, as well as exhaust emissions and overall structural integrity. Given the recent clean result, the car appears roadworthy, but a thorough in‑person inspection of the aforementioned items is advisable to verify that no latent faults have developed since the last test.
