2007 MINI 1.6L Petrol · SL57 MLV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a positive maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted in December 2025 at 77,047 miles resulted in a clean pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the issues identified in previous years have been addressed. While the car failed in December 2024 due to a non offside front position lamp and a windscreen washer, the immediate retest pass three days later suggests an owner who is responsive to basic MOT safety requirements. At approximately 77,000 miles, this nineteen-year-old MINI has covered significantly low mileage, averaging roughly 4,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual usage, with intervals of approximately 1,900 miles recorded between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 1,465 miles between 2024 and 2025. This low-frequency usage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, though it increases the risk of rubber-component degradation and brake caliper corrosion if the vehicle sits for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on structural corrosion around the sills and underbody, as older-age vehicles with low mileage often suffer from surface rust despite minimal road use. The 2022 advisory regarding the tyre pressure light and the fitting of under trays suggest a past focus on underbody protection and sensor monitoring. Given the low mileage, verify the age and condition of the tyres and suspension bushings, as these components often perish and crack long before they wear out through tread loss.
