2009 MINI 1.6L Diesel · MJ09 OUO

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection on 31 January 2026 at 130,415 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes on the same day. This suggests that the owner is proactive in rectifying identified issues immediately during the testing process, ensuring the vehicle consistently presents without recorded defects or advisories upon the final successful tests. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 130,415 miles represents an average usage of approximately 7,671 miles per annum. This aligns with typical UK figures for an older hatchback. The data shows consistent movement, with 5,105 miles covered between June 2023 and October 2024, and another 7,142 miles covered between October 2024 and January 2026. This steady accumulation indicates the car does not suffer from long periods of stagnation, which often helps prevent the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid seals. While the MOT history is clean of recurring advisories, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of common failure points for this specific model. Given the age and mileage, focus on the front suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, as these are prone to wear on MINI chassis. Check for significant surface corrosion on the subframe and rear mounting points, as the MOT only flags structural integrity once it reaches a threshold of severity, meaning early stage rust may still be present.
