2008 MINI 1.4L Petrol · EY08 KMJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 13 November 2025 at 97,048 miles passing without defects. The maintenance trend appears stable; the two consecutive tests each year show no recorded faults, indicating that any earlier procedural failures have not revealed underlying mechanical issues. Mileage growth is modest: 1,623 miles between 14 November 2023 and 13 November 2024, and 1,324 miles between 13 November 2024 and 13 November 2025. This low annual mileage suggests infrequent use or careful driving, but the gaps also mean fewer opportunities for routine servicing, so owners may have skipped some interval checks. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and steering linkages for wear or corrosion, as these components are common wear points in older Mini models. Brake discs and calipers should be examined for binding or uneven wear, and the tyre tread depth should be measured to confirm that the vehicle has not been driven on worn rubber. The exhaust system should be inspected for leaks or rust, and the battery and wiring harnesses should be checked for corrosion or loose connections. Finally, verify that the vehicle has a complete service history and that any previous failures were administrative rather than mechanical. Given the absence of recorded defects, the vehicle's current condition appears acceptable, but the buyer should still confirm that the vehicle passes a fresh MOT and that all critical components are in good working order.
