2005 MINI 1.6L Petrol · LS05 KWN

The vehicle currently holds a PASSED MOT on 2026-06-18, indicating that the latest inspection was successful and the mechanical condition at the time of the test remains sound. However, the history reveals a distinct pattern of maintenance gaps that suggests the vehicle has not undergone consistent upkeep since the 2022-08-31 test. The most recent MOT failure occurred on 2026-03-30, which was conducted after the vehicle reached 46,883 miles. This failure specifically affects the windscreen wiper, headlamp aim, and headlamp aiming, with no mention of structural issues or other mechanical failures. The vehicle's annual mileage of approximately 2,233 miles per year is low for its age, suggesting that the owner has likely maintained the car less frequently than necessary during the intervening years. A buyer should be prepared to inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and wear on suspension and braking components, as the recorded faults indicate a lack of regular maintenance. The persistent issues with the windscreen wipers and headlamps suggest that the vehicle may have been driven in a manner that caused wear on these specific parts, potentially leading to a need for replacement or repair. Given the lack of a history of regular inspections or a lack of records for the 2022-08-31 test, the owner should verify the condition of the windscreen wiper blade and ensure that the headlamp aim is correct before proceeding with a purchase.
