2004 MINI 1.4L Diesel · HS04 AHD

The 2004 MINI MINI is currently roadworthy, having passed the February 2026 MOT at 168,151 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Mileage has risen steadily each year, from 161,840 miles in February 2022 to 168,151 miles in February 2026, an average of roughly 7,600 miles per annum, matching the typical usage for a 22‑year‑old vehicle and showing no large gaps in the annual testing schedule. A buyer should therefore focus on the mechanical components that commonly show wear on high‑mileage MINIs, such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as well as the condition of the brake discs, calipers and pads, which have not been flagged but may exhibit binding or uneven wear. Structural rust on the chassis, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, and the integrity of the exhaust system should also be examined, since the MOT history records no corrosion advisories but visual inspection remains essential. Overall, the consistent pass rate and regular mileage increments indicate diligent maintenance, yet a thorough in‑person inspection of the suspension, braking system, and structural elements is advisable before final purchase.
