2009 MINI 1.4L Petrol · ST09 WPM

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthiness rating of 200,000 km (2026-06-18), placing it in the 'Good' category. The maintenance history indicates a stable trend, as the vehicle passed the MOT in September 2022 at 120,208 miles with a passing result, followed by a failed test in September 2022 at 120,204 miles. This pattern of passing and then failing in the same month suggests that the condition of the engine and exhaust system has been relatively consistent, though the second test reveals a distinct deterioration in exhaust emissions. The mileage accumulation is notably rapid, accumulating approximately 7,071 miles annually, which aligns with the vehicle's 17-year age. This pace of wear is consistent with typical usage for a used car of this age, but it creates a significant risk for consumable wear on critical components. The most recent test at 120,208 miles was passed, yet the failure on the second test at 120,204 miles indicates that the engine and exhaust systems have degraded over the past year, necessitating immediate inspection of the engine bay and exhaust manifold. To ensure the vehicle remains safe, a buyer must inspect for structural integrity and mechanical risks at the site, specifically looking for corrosion on the engine block, exhaust components, and the suspension bushings. The history of a failed MOT in September 2022 combined with a passing result in September 2022 suggests that while the engine may have been in good condition at the time of the first test, the subsequent failure indicates that the engine and exhaust systems have degraded over the past year, requiring immediate inspection of the engine block and exhaust components.
