2004 MINI 1.6L Petrol · LM04 WNU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing its annual tests. The most recent inspection conducted in December 2025 at 46,841 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical and safety-critical components currently meet minimum standards. This follows two consecutive clean passes in 2024 and 2023, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained well in recent years. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,129 miles per year. Between October 2021 and December 2025, the car covered only 6,994 miles, reflecting a history of light use or long periods of storage. While this low mileage reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components, seals, and fluids, which can perish over time regardless of distance travelled. A buyer should pay specific attention to the advisory noted in October 2022 at 41,645 miles when the offside rear tyre was flagged for being worn close to the legal limit with uneven wear. While this was resolved prior to subsequent tests, uneven wear often points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that require monitoring. Given the vehicle's age and low usage, a physical inspection is necessary to check for structural corrosion on the sills and subframe, as these are common failure points for this generation of MINI not always fully captured in a standard MOT until they become significant.
