2002 MINI 1.6L Petrol · LN02 XHM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 18 March 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently passed its annual inspections over the last three years. A pattern of immediate re-testing is evident, with failures recorded on 17 March 2026 and 17 March 2025, both of which were resolved within twenty four hours to secure a pass. Mileage data is unavailable for this vehicle, making it impossible to determine the rate of wear or identify any anomalies in usage. Without recorded odometer readings from the 2024, 2025, and 2026 tests, the mechanical stress on the engine and drivetrain cannot be objectively assessed against the age of the car. The MOT history is unusually clean for a 2002 model, with no recorded defects or advisories across the last three years of testing. This lack of data on consumables such as brake discs, tyres, or suspension bushes is atypical for a twenty four year old MINI. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the chassis and sills for corrosion, as structural rust is a common failure point for this era that may not be captured in a summary record. Check the condition of the rubber components and cooling system during a manual inspection. The absence of any flagged advisories suggests either an exceptionally well-maintained example or a history of off-record maintenance. Verifying service stamps against the MOT dates will confirm if the previous owner followed a proactive maintenance schedule or merely performed the minimum repairs required to pass the legal inspection.
