2002 MINI 1.6L Petrol · GF52 XYO

The most recent MOT was a pass on 23 December 2021 at 130,824 miles, over 4 years ago. There is no record of any test since, meaning the car may have been off the road, in storage, or unused. That gap alone makes the vehicle an unknown quantity today. A recurring pattern appears around the nearside front suspension. In both 2020 and 2021, the inner suspension arm pin or bush was worn but not yet excessively loose. This suggests a component that has been deteriorating slowly rather than being fixed. Without a later inspection, you cannot assume it has been addressed. Earlier tests show a history of age-related wear. A 2019 advisory flagged a slightly corroded nearside rear brake disc. In 2018, play in the steering rack inner joint was noted, plus both rear tyres worn close to the limit.
