2007 MINI 1.4L Petrol · GP57 FFO

The vehicle currently holds a pass at 118,782 miles on 2025-05-08, with a failure recorded on 2025-02-25 at 118,745 miles. The maintenance trend appears to be stable or slightly worsening, as the 2025-05-08 test was the most recent passing test and the 2025-02-25 failure represents a significant drop-off in performance. The 2024-03-01 test passed at 117,000 miles, suggesting that while the 2025-05-08 failure was not catastrophic, the vehicle has not been subject to a major overhaul since the previous inspection. Regarding mileage accumulation, the vehicle has experienced a notable gap in recorded data between 2025-05-08 and 2025-02-25, where the mileage dropped from 118,782 to 118,745 miles, indicating that the vehicle was driven for only 37 days between these two events. This gap suggests that the owner may have been unable to record travel or that the vehicle was stationary for a substantial period, potentially affecting the reliability of the mileage calculation. The 2025-05-08 test was conducted at 118,782 miles, which is consistent with the 2025-02-25 failure at 118,745 miles, confirming that the vehicle has been maintained at a consistent 118,782-mile interval since the most recent test. The buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural and mechanical risks, particularly focusing on the suspension, brakes, and drivetrain components that were flagged in the 2025-02-25 failure. The 2025-05-08 failure involved binding on the secondary brake and a product on the lens, which are common issues but not necessarily indicative of imminent structural failure. The 2025-02-25 failure revealed critical issues including an oil leak from the engine, exhaust emissions exceeding manufacturer limits, and multiple structural problems such as worn brake discs, pitted brake pads, and missing road wheel fixing. The 2024-03-01 test noted a worn inner tyre and a perished rear bush, which are signs of significant wear that requires immediate professional assessment before any further driving is permitted.
