2009 MINI 1.6L Petrol · PX59 XFB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having maintained a clean record since a period of mechanical concern. The most recent test in November 2021 at 124,548 miles shows the car passing with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that the mechanical issues identified in previous years were addressed, and the vehicle has since met all minimum safety standards for consecutive inspections. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per year. Between December 2019 and November 2021, the car covered 24,602 miles, suggesting regular use rather than long periods of stagnation. There is a notable gap between the January 2019 and December 2019 tests where the vehicle covered over 12,000 miles in under eleven months, coinciding with the failure recorded that month. A buyer should focus physical inspection on the areas flagged during the December 2019 failure at 111,946 miles. That test identified a failing rear lower suspension arm pin artwork and a nearside rear tyre with insufficient tread depth, alongside a persistent oil leak that had also been noted in January of that same year. While the car has passed subsequent tests, the history of oil leaks warrants a close check of the engine seals and way area to ensure the condition has not worsened since the last recorded mileage.
