2009 MINI 1.4L Petrol · FE09 LBK

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT status following the test conducted on November 1st, 2025, at 55,459 miles. The maintenance trend over the last two years is unstable, evidenced by the vehicle failing its inspection twice, both in November 2024 and November 2025. These failures were primarily driven by recurring issues concerning wheel alignment and headlamp projection. The recorded mileage of 55,459 miles for a 2009 model reflects a relatively low usage rate, averaging approximately 3,262 miles per year. While this mileage is generally favourable for an older vehicle, the repeated failures indicate that specific mechanical or alignment problems are persisting rather than resolving. The 2024 and 2025 records show that the nearside front inner road wheel distortion was flagged on both occasions, suggesting potential issues with suspension components or wheel mounting integrity that require attention. A buyer should inspect the front wheel alignment and suspension components thoroughly, as the distortion noted in the MOT history points towards a structural or alignment problem. The headlamp issues, specifically the incorrect beam projection and product on the lens noted in the November 2025 test, need verification to ensure proper road visibility and compliance. Furthermore, the missing fuel cap noted in the 2024 test suggests a lapse in routine checks, which may imply other minor consumables or safety checks were also overlooked.
