2002 MINI 1.6L Petrol · KN02 BFL

The most recent MOT on 29 July 2025 recorded a PASS at 147,077 miles, indicating the vehicle met the statutory roadworthiness criteria at that test. Earlier failures in February 2025 and February 2024 did not list any specific defects, and the subsequent February 2024 pass suggests no persistent fault was recorded. The pattern moves from failure to pass without documented recurring faults, which can be interpreted as a stable or marginally improving maintenance record. Across a 24‑year lifespan the car has accumulated 147,077 miles, averaging roughly 6,100 miles per year – a mileage level typical for a vehicle of this age. The jump from 102,483 miles recorded on 26 February 2025 to 147,077 miles on 29 July 2025 implies an unusually high mileage accrual in a short interval, or a possible recording anomaly. No other mileage figures are supplied for the 2024 tests, leaving a gap that prevents a precise year‑by‑year analysis, but the overall usage appears consistent with moderate annual mileage. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of wear items that are not captured by the MOT record. Inspect tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity, as excessive wear may have been concealed by the lack of recorded defects. Examine the suspension system—particularly the front and rear bushes and coil springs—for signs of fatigue, given the high cumulative mileage. Check brake pads, discs, and caliper operation for any binding or uneven wear that could have escaped detection. Finally, assess the under‑body for corrosion, especially around the wheel arches and chassis seams, and confirm that exhaust emissions and structural integrity remain within safe limits.
