Please...lets just get a countrywide scope of opinion on what is "mint"
For me its: Bad condition. Average for its age. Good condition. Very good condition. Mint. Brand new. Wishes for more power...

Ah the age old argument. For almost everyone "mint" is a slang now. Yeah man its mint. Meaning itll do. But i agree with you a fair but and most sales people annoy me saying mint

I've never seen a mint 306. In fact brand new cars aren't usually mint either!!
The one annoys me is good condition 'for age' which actually means it's shit, but that's ok as it's old and high miles...

Mint = a good solid hint that the person selling the item is lying about EVERYTHING

Given the choice between Niall and the sheep. I would choose the sheep!

It seems mint varies...
Mint interior and tyres seem to mean to a chap... Ruined drivers seat, knackered gear gaitor, smoked in, stained and one flat dead tyre and two perished tyres resulting in cracks you could get ya finger im Wishes for more power...

mint itself you can avoid. mint condition seems to be more on point.
