2008 MINI 1.4L Petrol · CK58 CXT

The 2025-03-22 MOT at 122,192 miles confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy with no defects recorded. The preceding 2024-04-18 pass at 117,528 miles shows a consistent record of clean results, indicating a stable maintenance trend without worsening or improving issues. Earlier 2024 failures at lower mileages also reported no defects, reinforcing the impression of steady upkeep. At 18 years old, the 122,192‑mile total equates to roughly 6,800 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The mileage increments between the 2024 March and April tests were minimal, amounting to only 18 miles over 18 days, suggesting the car spent extended periods stationary. A larger increase to 122,192 miles by March 2025 reflects normal annual driving rather than rapid accumulation. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, test the rear brakes for binding calipers, and inspect the brake discs for scoring or corrosion. The repeated 2024 test failures, though defect‑free on paper, imply that previous owners may have addressed intermittent issues such as structural rust or exhaust leaks, making a close visual inspection of the chassis and underbody prudent. Inspection of the tyres and wiper blades is advisable, as these consumables often reveal neglect despite a clean MOT. Overall, the vehicle’s documented history points to a stable, well‑maintained example, but a thorough in‑person assessment of suspension components, braking systems, and structural integrity remains essential before purchase.
