2007 MINI 1.6L Petrol · MT57 YVN

This vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 23 March 2026 at 130,802 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the car failed its test five days prior on 18 March 2026, the lack of recorded defects suggests the failure may have been due to an administrative error or a minor issue rectified immediately. The mileage is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 6,884 miles per year. The distance covered between the April 2024 test at 123,618 miles and the March 2026 pass at 130,802 miles shows a steady usage pattern of approximately 3,600 miles per year over the last two years. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest periods of prolonged standing or sudden heavy commercial use. The MOT history is exceptionally clean for a nineteen year old vehicle, showing no recorded advisories or recurring mechanical failures across the last three years. This suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance or a very light duty cycle. The absence of flagged issues regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion is unusual for a 2007 model, which typically suffers from chassis rust. A buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of the underbody and wheel arches to check for surface corrosion that may have been overlooked by testers. Given the mileage exceeds 130,000, checking the condition of the clutch and timing chain is advisable, as these drivetrain components often wear out regardless of a clean MOT record. Verify that the oil is clean and the coolant is free of contamination to ensure the engine has been serviced beyond the basic legal requirements.
