2009 MINI 1.6L Petrol · E9 YAW

Based on the DVSA record, this 2009 MINI presents a clean and stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 15 October 2025 at 46,815 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, and this mirrors the previous four annual tests stretching back to October 2021. Across a five-year period, the vehicle has consistently passed first time with no advisories, which indicates a maintenance trend that is stable rather than worsening. Nothing in the test history suggests any developing mechanical or structural concern. The recorded mileage is low for the vehicle's age. At roughly 2,754 miles per year, the car has covered approximately 46,815 miles in 17 years. The annual intervals show remarkably even usage: 1,082 miles between October 2021 and October 2022, then 1,437, 1,056, and 1,441 miles in the subsequent years. There are no unusual gaps or sudden bursts of mileage to suggest storage or heavy use. This consistent low-mileage pattern typically reflects light, regular use rather than prolonged standing, though the total remains modest for a car of this vintage. Because no faults or advisories appear in the MOT history, nothing has been flagged for immediate attention. However, a buyer should still carry out a hands-on inspection of components that wear or degrade with age regardless of low mileage. Check the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing or corrosion, particularly at the front, and listen for knocking over uneven surfaces. Brake discs and calipers can bind or corrode from standing, so look for lipping on the discs and uneven pad wear. Tyres deserve close scrutiny too; the sidewalls may show cracking even if the tread depth is legal. A car that passes MOTs easily can still hide tired bushes or aged rubber, and those are the items most likely to surface within the next twelve months.
