2009 MINI 1.6L Petrol · GV59 LCY

The 2025‑08‑15 MOT at 67,828 miles passed without any defects, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable, improving trend. Since the 2022‑08‑12 test at 61,484 miles, each subsequent annual inspection has produced a pass with no recorded defects, indicating consistent upkeep. The mileage trajectory over the 17‑year life of the 2009 MINI MINI averages about 3,990 miles per year, a figure below the typical wear rate for a vehicle of this age. The intervals between tests are regular: 12 months from 2022‑08‑12 (61,484 miles) to 2023‑08‑04 (63,348 miles) represent a 1,864‑mile increase, followed by another test on the same day at identical mileage that failed, then 12 months to 2024‑08‑16 (65,553 miles) and a final year to 2025‑08‑15 (67,828 miles), showing a steady rise of roughly 2,200 miles annually. These increments suggest the car has been used intermittently rather than intensively, with no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation. A buyer should therefore focus on the mechanical components that have historically shown vulnerability: suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or binding, rear brake calipers for seizing, and brake discs for scoring, while also examining the chassis rails and wheel arches for structural rust that could compromise integrity. Although the MOT history records no defects, physical inspection of the exhaust system for corrosion, the condition of the tyre tread, and the functionality of the wiper blades is advisable, as these consumables often reveal hidden neglect. Overall, the vehicle presents a low‑mileage, well‑maintained profile, but a thorough in‑person assessment of suspension, braking and structural elements remains essential before purchase.
