2007 MINI 1.6L Petrol · FH07 MVG

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following the most recent MOT pass recorded on 11 February 2026 at 164,229 miles, with no defects listed. The maintenance trend appears stable across the last three annual cycles, as the 2025 and 2024 tests also returned passes with clean sheets. The only blemish is a pair of failed entries on the same days as the eventual passes in February 2024 and February 2026, both at near-identical mileages and both showing no recorded defects, which points to administrative or documentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. Annual mileage sits at a typical 8,644 miles for a 19-year-old car, with the record showing 154,926 miles in February 2024, 159,462 miles in February 2025, and 164,229 miles in February 2026. That is a steady accumulation of roughly 4,500 to 5,300 miles per year, with no gaps or sudden jumps that would suggest neglected storage or harsh use. The DVSA data is sparse on detail, listing no advisories or component-specific wear across any test, so the history alone gives little insight into consumable or structural condition. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and 164,000-mile tally, as these items wear silently without triggering MOT advisories when within limits. The same-day fail-and-pass pattern with zero defects recorded implies the previous owner addressed whatever paperwork caused the rejection immediately, but it offers no evidence of skipped basic upkeep such as tyre or wiper replacement. Given the clean recorded history and ordinary mileage, the MINI shows no warning signs of worsening mechanical risk in the official record. Verify structural integrity for corrosion underneath and check for any undocumented running-gear play before purchase, since the MOT entries do not capture such faults until they breach test thresholds.
