2007 MINI 1.6L Petrol · CU07 URW

The 2007 MINI presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 November 2025 at 92,600 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following an anomalous failure on the same date and mileage with no defects listed, likely an administrative or retest anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in September 2024 at 91,384 miles, October 2023 at 83,674 miles, and October 2022 at 80,234 miles all passed clean. No advisories or component wear flags appear anywhere in the five-year record. At roughly 19 years old the car shows 92,600 recorded miles, an average of about 4,874 miles per year. The mileage climbed 3,440 miles between the October 2022 and October 2023 tests, then only 7,710 miles across the following two years to November 2025. This low annual use suggests light running or periods of storage rather than high-cycle wear on drivetrain or suspension. The DVSA data is sparse and clean, with no corrosion, brake, or exhaust emissions concerns logged by any tester. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the car. Long standing periods at low mileage accelerate structural rust on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points even when MOT testers note nothing. The MINI's front control arm bushes and rear trailing arm bushes are known to degrade with age regardless of miles covered. Check brake disc condition and caliper freedom given the car's intermittent use, as seized slides and surface pitting develop during storage. Verify tyre sidewall age and rubber hardening, since a clean MOT does not confirm compound condition on a vehicle of this age.
