2004 MINI 1.6L Petrol · WV54 FRK

The 2004 Mini passed its most recent MOT on 8 September 2025 at 109,217 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend appears stable across the last three years. The vehicle shows a clean test history with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage, indicating the car has met the minimum legal roadworthiness standard each time it was presented. Recorded mileage stands at 109,217 miles against an age of around 22 years, equating to a low average of roughly 4,964 miles per year. The odometer moved only 1,098 miles between the July 2023 pass at 107,119 miles and the September 2025 pass at 109,217 miles. Such low annual use suggests extended standing periods, which on a vehicle of this age raises the risk of perished rubber components, seized suspension bushes, and corrosion rather than high-mileage drivetrain wear. The two failure entries from 4 September 2025 and 30 July 2024 both show zero recorded defects, meaning the DVSA system logged administrative or presentation failures rather than mechanical rejects. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity, brake discs, coil springs, and exhaust emissions, as the MOT record offers no visibility of wear below the test threshold. Given the car's low mileage and clean advisory history, previous keepers likely carried out basic upkeep to pass each test. The lack of recurring faults points to no worsening mechanical trend, but the age demands a close check for hidden rust and degraded consumables before purchase.
