2009 MINI 1.6L Petrol · LL59 BWV

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness profile, maintaining a consistent pass history across the last five annual inspections. The most recent test conducted on 15 October 2025 at 34,250 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend regarding safety-critical inspection items, suggesting that the vehicle has been kept to a functional operational standard without immediate major mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,015 miles per year. Between October 2021 (31,972 miles) and October 2025 (34,250 miles), the car covered only 2,278 miles, indicating infrequent use or long periods of storage. While this low mileage suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between use can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components or fluid issues that an MOT may not fully capture. Despite the lack of recorded MOT faults, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of components susceptible to low-mileage, aged vehicles. Particular attention should be paid to the condition of the suspension bushes, artwork arms, and artwork seals, which can perish or leak over time irrespective of distance travelled. Additionally, brake discs and calipers should be checked for corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use often leads to surface rust and seized components. The tyres should also be inspected for age-related cracking, as the tread depth may be legal while the structural integrity of the rubber is compromised.
