2008 MINI 1.6L Petrol · KW08 PRV

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthiness status of 'good' based on the most recent MOT test on 2026-04-02, which was conducted at 131,126 miles and failed. This failure represents a significant gap from the previous successful test on 2025-04-07, indicating that the vehicle has not been maintained since the initial inspection and suggests a lack of consistent upkeep. The maintenance trend appears to be relatively stable in terms of the MOT records themselves, as the vehicle passed twice without defects before failing again, but the gap between the two most recent checks (2025-04-07 and 2026-04-02) is substantial. The rapid mileage accumulation since the first successful test suggests that the vehicle may have been driven less frequently or that the mileage itself is not reflecting the actual wear on the drivetrain components, potentially masking serious mechanical issues. A buyer should inspect the car for structural integrity and mechanical wear on the suspension and brakes, as the history of two failures without defects on either MOT record indicates that no corrective maintenance was performed between the last two checks. While the brakes are generally sound, the lack of a record of routine servicing raises a concern about whether the vehicle has been properly maintained, particularly given the age of the car and the frequency of the failed tests.
