2009 MINI 1.6L Petrol · BN09 RXM

The vehicle's most recent MOT test on 28 April 2025 resulted in a pass at 83,286 miles, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Minor issues flagged were the nearside front position lamp failure, which is an easily rectifiable electrical fault, and the offside rear tyre approaching the legal limit, requiring replacement. The suspension arm bushes showed wear but remained within acceptable parameters, suggesting the previous owner managed to keep the car roadworthy despite the underlying suspension degradation. The September 2023 test revealed binding rear brakes and pitted brake discs, which were addressed before the February 2024 pass. The February 2024 emissions failure was resolved by April 2024, with no further emissions failures recorded since. The low annual mileage of approximately 4,899 miles per year over 17 years suggests the car has seen light use, which has preserved the drivetrain but may have led to component perishing, such as the offside rear tyre deterioration noted in 2023 and 2025. A buyer should arrange a pre-purchase inspection to verify the brake pedal feel and confirm the suspension bushes are not deteriorating further. The tyre tread depth should be measured, and the electrical fault with the nearside front position lamp must be rectified before purchase.
