2009 MINI Cooper 1.6L Diesel · MF09 AEM

This vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 5 March 2026 at 129,159 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health follows a consistent pattern of passing tests without any listed advisories or failures for the last three years. The mileage pattern is consistent with the age of the car. Between the March 2024 test at 117,758 miles and the March 2026 test at 129,159 miles, the vehicle covered 11,401 miles. This averages roughly 5,700 miles per year over the last two years, which is slightly below the overall lifetime average of 7,598 miles per year. There are no erratic jumps or suspicious drops in the recorded odometer readings. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories since March 2024 is unusual for a seventeen year old MINI. While the record suggests a well-maintained vehicle, the lack of any mentioned wear on consumables like brake discs, tyres, or suspension bushes is atypical for this mileage. A buyer should still conduct a physical inspection to check for structural corrosion on the sills and chassis, as these are common failure points for this model that may not have been flagged in recent tests. Verify the condition of the engine mounts and check for oil leaks around the sump and timing cover. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus should be on confirming that the mechanical condition matches the paperwork and ensuring that basic service intervals have been met beyond the statutory annual test.
