2022 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · AL63 AJT

The 2022 MINI Cooper presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 February 2026 at 24,315 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, matching the clean result from 14 February 2025 at 21,353 miles. Two consecutive annual tests with zero advisories or failures indicate the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that satisfies DVLA roadworthiness requirements. The recorded mileage shows light, consistent use across its four-year life. Between the February 2025 and February 2026 tests the car covered only 2,962 miles, averaging roughly 6,079 miles per year since registration. No rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps appear in the data. The sparse two-entry history offers limited longitudinal insight, though the absence of any flagged wear items suggests the prior keeper avoided neglect on consumables and core mechanicals. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean record. Low annual mileage can mask degraded suspension bushes, flat-spotted tyres, or corroding brake discs from prolonged standing. The MINI's front-wheel-drive layout and strut-type front suspension warrant a check for worn coil springs and track-rod ends. Verify the service history aligns with the low-mileage profile. Confirm brake calipers are free from binding after storage and inspect underside structural points for early corrosion. The MOT data alone shows no active defects, but hands-on assessment remains prudent given the limited test sample.
