2009 MINI 1.6L Petrol · RE59 KTK

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. In the most recent test on November 2025 at 66,533 miles, the car initially failed due to high carbon monoxide emissions and pitted rear brake discs. While it passed upon immediate re-test, the exhaust emission failure suggests a potential engine efficiency issue or sensor fault that requires monitoring, and the recurring brake disc wear indicates that components are only replaced once they fail inspection. The mileage profile is notably low for a vehicle from 2009, averaging approximately 3,900 miles per year. However, the data shows a significant discrepancy between the November 2024 test at 68,872 miles and the November 2025 test at 66,533 miles. This negative mileage of 2,339 miles over a year suggests either an odometer error or a long period of vehicle inactivity. Such inactivity often leads to the degradation of rubber components and fluid chemistry, which aligns with the perishing tyres noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and rubberwork. The record highlights a history of worn brake discs across all corners and perishing tyres, which are common symptoms of low-use vehicles that sit stationary. Inspect for deep cracking in the sidewalls of the tyres and check for seized calipers that may cause the uneven pitting. Given the carbon monoxide failure in 2025, a professional diagnostic check is recommended to ensure the engine is not running rich or that the catalytic converter is not failing.
