2004 MINI 1.6L Petrol · GD04 KPJ

The vehicle is currently in a stable roadworthy condition. The most recent MOT on 5 December 2025 resulted in a pass at 90,950 miles with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over several years, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for a 22 year old car, averaging roughly 4,134 miles per year. The data shows a period of stagnation between November 2022 and December 2023, where the odometer moved only 3 miles from 83,165 to 83,168. A more typical usage pattern resumed thereafter, with the vehicle covering 4,122 miles between December 2023 and December 2024, and a further 4,121 miles by the December 2025 test. While the MOT history is exceptionally clean, the low overall mileage and the period of inactivity suggest a risk of dormant faults. A buyer should specifically check for perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and coolant hoses, which can degrade regardless of mileage. The absence of any flagged corrosion in the records is positive, but a physical inspection of the chassis and sills is necessary to confirm structural integrity, as MOT testers may overlook minor surface rust that could progress. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting caused by the periods of standing. Check the tyre dates to ensure the rubber has not hardened over time, even if the tread depth remains legal. Given the lack of recorded defects, the primary focus should be on fluid condition and the general health of the drivetrain after long intervals of light use.
