2007 MINI 1.6L Petrol · LD07 LLC

The vehicle currently holds a PASSED MOT on 2025-06-17 with 113,885 miles, indicating a stable maintenance trend relative to the current year. However, the most recent test failed on 2024-05-02, revealing significant structural and mechanical risks that have not been addressed since then. The record shows a pattern of rapid mileage accumulation over a 3-year period, culminating in a failure to clear the windscreen wiper and damaging tread on the rear tyre, suggesting the owner may have prioritized consumption over preventative maintenance. The mechanical condition of the braking system is compromised by an imbalanced rear brake requirement and corrosion on both brake pipes, which poses a serious risk to handling and safety. While the suspension components, including arm pins and bushings, appear to meet requirements without excessive movement, this is insufficient given the history of previous failures. The oil leak, though not excessive, has been a recurring issue since the 2022-04-27 test, indicating a failure to maintain proper oil levels. This oil leak combined with the brake corrosion and suspension wear suggests that the vehicle is prone to catastrophic failure under normal driving conditions. Given the recurring faults in the suspension, brakes, and potential structural issues like tyre tears and corrosion, the vehicle is not roadworthy for safe driving. A buyer must inspect the rear brakes immediately, the suspension arms and bushings for excessive play, and the oil system to ensure that any identified wear is addressed before the vehicle is put into production. The vehicle's history indicates a lack of proactive maintenance, which has allowed critical issues to develop into severe problems that require urgent attention.
