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

The 2013 MINI MINI passed its latest MOT test on 2026-02-03 with a recorded mileage of 93,156 miles. However, this test revealed a nearside rear road wheel slightly distorted, which is the first recorded defect since the previous test. This trend suggests a worsening maintenance pattern, as the vehicle has now accumulated a series of minor defects over the past few years. The recorded mileage of 93,156 miles, with an average annual mileage of approximately 7,166 miles, is roughly typical for its age. However, there are some notable gaps in the MOT history, particularly between 2018 and 2023, where the vehicle accumulated 18,000 miles in just five years. This rapid mileage accumulation may indicate periods of intense use, which could have contributed to the wear and tear on the vehicle's components. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's suspension and brake system in person, as several defects have been recorded in these areas. The 2022 test revealed excessively worn rear bushes on the nearside and offside front suspension arms, while the 2023 test flagged a serious fluid leak from the nearside front shock absorbers. The 2019 test also noted front brake pads wearing thin, and the 2019 and 2023 tests both recorded serious fluid leaks from the offside front shock absorbers. Additionally, the vehicle has a history of worn tyres, with the nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit in 2020 and 2024. The buyer should also check the vehicle's structural integrity, as the 2020 test noted a deteriorated nearside front passenger door catch.
