AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2004 MINI MINI is presently roadworthy, having passed the May 2 2025 MOT at 116,305 miles with no defects recorded. The recent test confirms a stable maintenance trend, as earlier failures at 110,998 miles also showed no recorded defects, indicating consistent compliance with the required standards. The mileage pattern is low for a 22‑year‑old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,287 miles per year. Gaps between tests are notable: the May 4 2024 and May 2 2024 tests recorded identical mileage at 110,998 miles, and the April 25 2025 and May 2 2025 tests showed only an 85‑mile increase over eight days, suggesting extended periods of inactivity or very light use. A buyer should inspect suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, examine brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and check the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust or corrosion. The exhaust system and emission levels merit verification, while tyre tread and wiper condition, though consumable, should be assessed for basic upkeep.
