Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. This 2007 MINI sho
Focus heavily on the engine and steering system. The 2023 advisory for blue smoke during acceleration is a particular concern as it can indicate oil consumption or internal engine wear. You should also verify if the coolant leak and oil leak noted in 2023 and 2024 were professionally repaired or simply patched to pass the MOT.
Check for evidence of recent work on the steering rack and steering arm, as these were specific failure points in 2024 and 2025. Given the age and mileage, request a full service history to determine if the timing chain and other major wear items have been addressed, as the MOT history alone does not confirm this.
The 1598cc petrol engine provides standard performance for this era, but fuel economy may be lower than original specifications given the high mileage. Insurance and road tax will be based on its 2007 registration and engine size.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average for this model due to the recurring nature of the steering and engine advisories. Budget for more frequent repairs to suspension components and potential engine seal replacements.
Carefully inspect the nearside front drive shaft CV boot and the steering rack, as these have been repeated points of failure or advisories in 2024 and 2025. During a test drive, observe the exhaust for blue smoke during acceleration and check for any remaining oil or coolant leaks around the engine block.
Additionally, examine the windscreen for the recurring stone chips and damage mentioned across multiple MOT records. Check the condition of the tyres and wheels, specifically the offside front, which was recorded as distorted in 2024.
This blue 1.6L petrol MINI has recorded 131,759 miles, which is above the model average. The MOT history reveals multiple failures and advisories, including coolant and oil leaks, emissions issues, and repeated steering component wear. The vehicle has a history of frequent MOT failures in recent years, including a failure in November 2024 and December 2025.
This model has an average MOT pass rate of 75.6%, with common failures typically relating to headlamps, tyres, and brake pipes.
