2007 MINI 1.6L Petrol · CV57 SOE

The 2007 MINI presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 January 2026 at 64,160 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior passes show no advisories or faults. The vehicle displays no worsening mechanical condition across the available record. Recorded mileage sits at 64,160 against roughly 19 years of age, an average of about 3,377 miles per year. The DVSA data shows 55,535 miles at the 31 December 2022 test, rising to 57,488 by 14 December 2023, then 60,061 at the 30 December 2024 examination, and 64,160 at the January 2026 pass. Annual accumulation stays between 2,000 and 4,100 miles. The sparse, clean history with no flagged wear items points to light use and a lack of recorded neglect. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion, as the MINI platform is prone to structural rust unseen in a pass-only MOT. The 30 December 2024 entry shows both a fail and a pass at identical mileage with no defects listed, suggesting an administrative retest rather than repaired faults. Given zero advisories across five years, previous keepers likely addressed consumables before each test. Verify brake disc thickness, tyre sidewall condition, and underbody integrity, since low mileage often masks standing-water corrosion not captured by the tester.
