2009 MINI 1.6L Petrol · BV59 RZB

The 2009 MINI presents as roadworthy following a pass at 97,239 miles on 16 April 2025, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test showed no defects. A prior failure on 10 April 2025 at 97,184 miles listed no defects, indicating an administrative or unrecorded reason rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage sits at 97,239 against roughly 17 years of age, equating to about 5,720 miles per year and reflecting light use. The record shows 86,779 miles in March 2022, rising to 93,466 by March 2023, then 94,612 in April 2024 and 97,184 by April 2025. Annual accumulation stayed low and consistent, with no sudden jumps or standing gaps. The clean advisory history across all five entries suggests the vehicle received basic statutory upkeep, though sparse commentary limits insight into wear beneath the surface. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and low annual mileage, which can mask corrosion from prolonged inactivity. The absence of advisories on exhaust emissions and structural integrity is reassuring, but DVSA testers do not strip components. Verify underbody condition for rust and check for binding calipers during a road test. The repeated clean passes imply previous owners met minimum test standards without neglect, yet the April 2025 failure with no logged defect warrants confirmation the logbook and test certificate align. Given low mileage and a quiet record, focus physical checks on age-related perishing of tyres, wiper blades, and flexible brake hoses rather than drivetrain fatigue.
