2008 MINI 1.6L Diesel · CU58 HJC

The 2008 MINI presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 October 2025 at 165,204 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 6 June 2024 at 164,503 miles shows the vehicle has held a fault-free status for over a year. The two failure entries from 2023 and 2024 carry no recorded defects, which points to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,178 miles, typical for an eighteen-year-old car. The records show 161,625 miles on 31 May 2023, rising to 164,491 miles by 28 May 2024 and 165,204 miles by October 2025. The gap between June 2024 and October 2025 added only 701 miles, suggesting the car stood largely unused for much of that period. Low recent use can allow corrosion and seized components to develop unnoticed. The sparse history gives no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural integrity across any test. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of subframe and sill corrosion, given the age and the long static period after mid-2024. Check the braking system for binding calipers or degraded hoses after the lay-up. Verify the two defect-free failures with the DVSA to confirm no omitted data. Otherwise, the clean pass record and ordinary mileage imply reasonable upkeep, though the standing time warrants hands-on checks before purchase.
