2009 MINI 1.4L Petrol · YE09 WKC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent inspection. In the test conducted on 15 October 2025 at 84,437 miles, the car passed with no defects recorded, indicating that any previous mechanical issues have been addressed. While the history shows intermittent failures in 2023 and 2024, the subsequent return to clean sheets suggests the current owner is maintaining the vehicle to a required legal standard. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 84,437 miles represents a low average of approximately 5,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with only roughly 2,000 miles covered between the October 2024 and October 2025 tests. This low-frequency operation typically limits wear on the drivetrain and engine components compared to high-mileage examples, though low-mileage vehicles of this age can suffer from the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals if the car sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the suspension and braking systems, as these areas on the MINI are prone to perished bushes and component corrosion despite low mileage. The failures in September 2023 and October 2024 indicate that specific items required immediate attention at those times, so checking for weeping brake calipers or worn coil springs is essential. Given the age of the vehicle, a close look at the underbody will ensure that low use has not led to neglected structural rust.
