2009 MINI 1.6L Diesel · DA58 DXV

The 2009 MINI presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 20 February 2024 at 155,029 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the two prior tests on 25 January 2023 at 152,305 miles and 2 February 2022 at 151,288 miles also passed clean. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or escalating faults across the three-year window. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,119 miles, typical for a 17-year-old car. The record reveals only 3,741 miles accrued between February 2022 and February 2024, with just 2,724 miles in the 2022 to 2023 period. Such low recent use suggests the car spent extended periods stationary. Sparse test data limits insight, but the clean sheets imply basic statutory upkeep was met without flagged wear on tyres, brakes, or suspension. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion, particularly on sills and subframes, given the age and low-use pattern that encourages damp-related rust. Check suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing from standing, and verify brake discs and calipers are free from binding after idle storage. The absence of advisories means no specific mechanical trend demands correction. Treat the clean MOT history as evidence of passed statutory tests only, not proof of proactive maintenance on consumables or hidden drivetrain condition.
