2009 MINI 1.4L Petrol · WV59 TYW

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 8 September 2025 at 92,013 miles passed without any defects or advisories. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to February 2023, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for a 2009 model, averaging roughly 5,413 miles per year. Between the February 2023 test at 86,156 miles and the September 2025 test at 92,013 miles, the car covered only 5,857 miles over approximately 31 months. This low annual usage indicates the vehicle may have spent significant periods stationary, which can sometimes lead to perishing rubber components or fluid degradation despite the low wear on the drivetrain. While the MOT record shows no flagged defects, a buyer should physically inspect the vehicle for issues typical of low-mileage older MINIs. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or corrosion, as these often degrade due to age rather than mileage. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure the calipers are not seizing, particularly given the low usage patterns observed between 2023 and 2025. Verify the current state of the tyres and battery. Although the tester recorded no defects in September 2025, rubber compounds harden over time. A physical check for sidewall cracking and a battery health test are recommended to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from the effects of prolonged inactivity.
