2009 MINI 1.6L Petrol · MF09 ACY

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a pass on 11 December 2025 at 136,938 miles. The maintenance trend appears exceptionally stable. There are no recorded defects or advisories across the last three years of testing, indicating a car that has been kept in a roadworthy state without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 8,055 miles per year. Between the March 2023 test at 127,792 miles and the December 2025 test at 136,938 miles, the car covered 9,146 miles over nearly three years. This suggests a period of lighter use or shorter journeys in the most recent window, which can sometimes lead to battery degradation or perished rubber components. The absence of MOT advisories is unusual for a 17 year old MINI and suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance. However, the record does not show the internal service history. A buyer should still manually inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, as these often wear out regardless of MOT outcomes. Checking for structural corrosion on the sills and chassis is essential given the vehicle's age. The failure on 10 December 2025, followed by a pass just one day later at a single mile's difference, suggests a minor administrative error or a very quick rectification of a trivial fault. Because the record lists no defects for either entry, it does not indicate a serious mechanical risk. Focus the physical inspection on brake disc thickness and tyre tread depth to ensure these consumables are not nearing their limit.
