2006 MINI Cooper 1.6L Petrol · LR06 AEP

The vehicle’s MOT history presents an unusually clean record, with no defects recorded in any of the five tests between March 2024 and March 2026. The most recent pass on 5 March 2026 at 120,419 miles follows a failure the previous day that also lists no defects, which is atypical. This pattern suggests either a minor administrative issue or a fault rectified before retest, but the overall trend is stable with no recurring mechanical or structural concerns flagged. The mileage accumulation of 120,419 miles over 20 years equates to roughly 6,000 miles per year, consistent with typical usage. Annual increments are steady: approximately 3,250 miles from March 2024 to March 2025, and 2,700 miles from March 2025 to March 2026. This indicates regular, moderate use without prolonged standing or excessive wear. Despite the clean MOT record, a 20-year-old Mini Cooper is prone to structural corrosion in sills and subframes, and suspension bush wear. A buyer should arrange an independent inspection focusing on these areas, along with brake component condition and exhaust integrity, as the absence of recorded defects does not guarantee freedom from age-related deterioration.
