AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed the most recent MOT on 13 November 2025 at 35,800 miles. The same date records a failure for a nearside rear tyre cut, which was subsequently rectified before the pass, indicating the issue was addressed. Recurrent tyre‑related failures appear but have been resolved, suggesting a stable maintenance trend. With 35,800 miles logged since its 2016 registration, the car averages roughly 3,600 miles per year – well below typical usage for a ten‑year‑old MINI Cooper. Mileage increments are consistent, rising from 12,914 miles in July 2019 to 35,800 miles in November 2025, showing no sudden spikes or prolonged idle periods. A prospective buyer should inspect the tyre set closely; the record shows cuts, cracking, and tread depth approaching the legal limit on multiple occasions, so any hidden damage could re‑appear. Brake pads were flagged at wear‑indicator level in early 2022, so a fresh examination of the braking system and disc condition is advisable. Headlamp aim was out of specification in 2019, implying that alignment should be verified. No structural or suspension advisories have been recorded, pointing to a sound chassis, yet a visual check for corrosion and bush wear remains prudent. Assuming the current tyre and brake components are in good order, the vehicle presents a mechanically sound option for a buyer seeking low‑mileage usage.
