2022 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · 12 RDG

Based on the available DVSA MOT records, this MINI Cooper presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test, conducted on 5 November 2025 at 4,757 miles, passed with zero defects, advisories, or failures recorded. This indicates that, at the time of testing, the vehicle met all minimum safety and emissions standards across brakes, suspension, tyres, lights, and structural integrity. With only a single recorded test in the dataset, there is no recurring fault trend to analyse, and the maintenance pattern appears stable rather than worsening or resolving. The mileage context is notable. A 2022-registered vehicle with just 4,757 miles on the clock by late 2025 equates to roughly 1,189 miles per year, which is exceptionally low for a petrol-powered supermini. The MOT record confirms the odometer reading remained static between the November 2025 test and the current date of June 2026, suggesting the vehicle has seen very limited use or has been standing for an extended period. Low annual mileage can preserve mechanical components, but prolonged inactivity carries its own risks, including flat-spotted tyres, brake disc surface corrosion, moisture accumulation in the fuel system, and dried-out rubber seals. A prospective buyer should carry out a thorough in-person inspection focused on areas that prolonged standing can compromise. Check the tyre sidewalls for perishing and date stamps, as original-fit tyres on a 2022 vehicle may be approaching five years old regardless of remaining tread depth. Inspect the brake discs and pads for surface corrosion, which can develop within days of standing and may not be flagged on a test conducted after a short drive. Examine suspension bushes and gaiters for deterioration, and verify that the exhaust system shows no signs of internal condensation-related corrosion. Beyond the static period concerns, the clean MOT record provides reasonable confidence that no major structural or mechanical defects were present at the time of the November 2025 test. However, a fresh inspection by an independent garage before purchase remains advisable, particularly to assess fluid condition, battery health, and any latent issues that extended disuse may have introduced since the last recorded test.
