2007 MINI 1.6L Petrol · OX54 MEG

The vehicle maintains a clean bill of health according to the most recent MOT records, indicating a stable and well-maintained condition. The pass achieved on 3 March 2026 at 149,203 miles confirms the car is currently roadworthy and free of recorded defects. While the vehicle failed a preliminary test on 23 February 2026, the subsequent pass just days later suggests that any initial issues were rectified promptly, reflecting a proactive approach to mechanical compliance. At 149,203 miles over nineteen years, the vehicle has covered an average of approximately 7,850 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a car of this age. The MOT history from January 2023 through March 2026 shows a consistent record of passes with no advisories noted. This lack of recurring warnings suggests that previous owners have addressed consumable items such as tyres, brake pads, and wiper blades before they became test failures, rather than allowing mechanical neglect to accumulate. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components that often escape the scope of a standard MOT test, specifically looking for signs of oil leaks around the engine block and transmission housing, which are common in high-mileage examples of this era. Given the age of the vehicle, check the suspension bushes and ball joints for perishing rubber, as these components may be original and nearing the end of their service life despite the clean test record. Inspect the underside for any signs of surface corrosion on the subframes and sills to ensure the structural integrity remains sound for the long term.
