2009 MINI 1.4L Petrol · WG58 DYY

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean MOT pass on 10 April 2025 at 76,675 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently met testing standards after addressing failures in previous years. While the record shows failures in both 2024 and 2025, the subsequent passes with no recorded advisories indicate that any identified mechanical or emissions issues were rectified promptly prior to the test dates. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 76,675 miles is significantly low, averaging only approximately 4,500 miles per year. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with roughly 5,600 miles driven between April 2023 and 2024, and another 6,000 miles covered leading to the 2025 test. This low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it also indicates that rubber-based parts and seals may be subject to degradation due to age and stationary periods rather than mechanical friction. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection focusing on signs of corrosion, as low-mileage older vehicles are prone to structural rust in the sills and underbody that the MOT may not fully capture. Given the recurring failures in recent years, inspect the suspension bushes and bushings for cracking or play, which often perish over time regardless of mileage. Check the brake system for pitting or seized calipers to ensure the low-frequency use has not led to oxidation on the discs and internal components.
