Before proceeding, your first priority must be to verify the current MOT status, as the last recorded test was in 2021. If the vehicle has been off the road or has not been tested recently, a fresh MOT and a comprehensive mechanical inspection are essential. Ask the seller for any service receipts that may have been kept privately to supplement the MOT history.
When inspecting this specific 1.6L petrol variant, pay close attention to the underside of the car. While this specific vehicle's history is clear of defects, aggregate data for this model highlights brake pipes as a common failure point. Ensure the braking system is checked thoroughly by a professional.
Running costs for this 1598cc petrol MINI will be influenced by its age and engine size. Expect modest fuel economy typical of early 2000s small hatchbacks, though actual figures will depend on driving style and maintenance.
Insurance groups for 2002 MINIs vary, but buyers should obtain a quote based on the specific registration. Maintenance costs should be budgeted for regularly, particularly for consumables like tyres and headlamps, which are common failure points across the wider MINI model aggregate.
Given the MOT history for this model shows headlamps and tyres as top failure reasons, you should check that all lights are functioning correctly and that the tyre tread is sufficient and even. Inspect the tyres for any signs of sidewall cracking, which can occur on older vehicles.
Additionally, since brake pipes are a frequent reason for failure in this model aggregate, a mechanic should inspect the chassis and brake lines for corrosion. Check the engine bay for any signs of fluid leaks around the 1.6L engine components to ensure everything is dry and secure.
Registered in October 2002, this green 1.6L petrol MINI has covered 116,256 miles as of its last MOT in October 2021. While the most recent MOT recorded no defects, the vehicle has not had a recorded test for five years according to the provided data. Given the model's aggregate data shows an average annual mileage of 4,512, this vehicle's mileage is significantly higher than the statistical average for this model type.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 75.6% average MOT pass rate, with common issues involving headlamps, tyres, and brake pipes.
